ATTLEBORO SHRINE - A NEVER ENDING STORY

This story never ends.  It never ends because it is a story of remembering.  La Salette community people remember the words of Our Mother Mary, "Well, my children, make this known to all my people."  La Salette people also remember that these words are an echo of her Son's words to His disciples, "Go, therefore and make disciples of all the nations..." (MT 28, 19)  So that's what we do.  We carry the cross through the streets to make it visible to everyone.  To be concrete, here are some telling statistics from the Shrine dedicated to spreading the message of Our Lady of La Salette located in Attleboro, Massachusetts, USA.
For the year 2010 - 2011
Masses in front of 85,800 faithful in six (6) languages
Confessions of about 42,000 people in three languages
Healing services with sacrament for 15,000 people in three
                                                                        languages
Feeding the homeless -- 5,400 people
Retreats -- 3,000 youth; 4,000 adults          
Much of all this and much more is made possible by an army of 1,000 volunteers.

Souvenons-nous du bon ministere qui s'accompli dans les pays qui sont loins du site centrale de l'apparition de notre Sainte Mere.  Dans certains pays il y a des sanctuaires, facsimiles de celui qui existe a La Salette.  Ces sanctuaires peuvent accomplir le ministere et la mission de Marie et de Jesus avec l'aide de au dela de 2.000 benevoles, pretres, religieux et laics.  A l'heure actuelle, par exemple, il y a un groupe de professionels medicaux qui se prepare a aller aux Philippines au mois de janvier pour aider aux gens d'une ville surchargee d'habitants sans les moyens d'engager un medecin.  Prions pour les missionnaires ainsi que pour les pauvres malades et blesses.


Se recuerde del buen ministerio que tiene lugar en países que están lejos de la sede central de la aparición de la Santísima Virgen. En algunos países existen capillas y sanctuarios, facsímiles de lo que tenemos a La Salette. Estos santuarios pueden hacer el ministerio y la misión de María y Jesús con la ayuda de más allá de 2.000 voluntarios, sacerdotes, religiosos y laicos. En la actualidad, por ejemplo, hay un grupo de profesionales en medicina que se preparan para irse a las Filipinas en enero para ayudar a la gente de una ciudad llena de gente sin los medios para contratar a un médico. Oren por los misioneros y para los pobres enfermos y heridos.
