On May 19th, the Church throughout the world was celebrating Pentecost Sunday, but something special was happening on Staten Island. In celebration of the Solemnity of Pentecost and in preparation for the Saint Elizabeth Ann Seton route of the Eucharistic Revival procession passing through, a group of priests and laity wanted to create a New York City-wide campaign to consecrate the city. A team of about 30 people gathered together for what they called the Miraculous Medal Mission. This group was then divided into 5 groups and dispatched throughout the island.
The teams spent the morning and afternoon traveling throughout the island burying Saint Benedict medals and praying prayers of exorcism and prayers of consecration. Included on one of the teams was the processional statue of Our Lady of America, which Al Langsenkamp flew out from her home in Rome City, Indiana. The statue was taken with one of the teams to each of the four corners of the island as part of the consecration. They also made a stop at the Conference House and the Staten Island September 11th Memorial
The day of prayer ended with the height of prayer, the Holy Mass, at one of the largest parishes in the Archdiocese, Saint Clare of Assisi. The statue of Our Lady of America was processed in during the opening hymn. At the end of Mass, the pastor asked Al Langsenkamp, the president of the foundation operating Our Lady Patroness of America Center, to give a short presentation on Our Lady of America to the congregation. Al graciously accepted the invitation and miraculously squeezed a whole lot of information into a very short amount of time, inviting people to check out online resources and make a pilgrimage to Indiana for more. At the conclusion of the Mass, everyone prayed the prayer to Our Lady of America together. Overall it was a beautiful day, and the fruit and graces from those prayers will undoubtedly continue to bless New York and all of us for many years to come.
Alleluia!!!! Thank you all!!!
Our Lady of America has a very special place in our hearts and in North Dakota home.
