The Friday Night Rosary begins at 6:30 pm. Free Tours are available beginning at 4:00 pm every Friday. Impromptu rosaries are started and recited by visitors all throughout the weekend on Holy Family Hill. Everyone is welcome to join in.
Our Lady the Immaculate Virgin, Inc. is a 501(c)(3) organization whose mission is to support Our Lady's request to have her likeness, as Our Lady of America, placed in the National Shrine to The Immaculate Conception in Washington, D.C. and to support the preservation of the Holy Ground in Rome City, IN where the central messages of Our Lady of America were given and this special devotion began. OLTIV, Inc. claims no affiliation with any other group or website promoting this cause.
“In cases which concern private revelations, it is better to believe than not to believe, for if you believe and it is proven true, you will be happy that you believed, because our Holy Mother asked it of you. If you believed and it should be proven false, you will receive all the blessings as if it has been true, because you believed it to be true.” Pope Urban VIII
"What can be concluded canonically is that the devotion was both approved by
Archbishop Leibold and, what is more, was actively promoted by him. In addition, over
the years, other Bishops have approved the devotion and have participated in public
devotion to the Mother of God, under the title of Our Lady of America."
The Most Reverend Raymond L. Burke, Archbishop of Saint Louis

These photos were taken during the Adoration and Reconciliation period during the Friday Night Rosary. The Mass and rosary were held in the small chapel and attendance was near capacity. Attendance continues to grow and we welcome your participation, either in person or in spirit every Friday evening.

You can see the orbs again above the OLOA picture and in the chapel where it appears Adoration is in process.
The photo of the sun is just amazing too!
The American Bishops conference is next week. Does anybody have any recent info as to whether or not OLOA will be there in any form? Is somebody taking the statue? Is there to be any discussion of this amongst the Bishops?
Also, I had heard that tehre was a connection between OLOA and Mother Angelica's EWTN. I saw where there had been a procession last year, but there is no mention on the EWTN website of any connection of OLOA with EWTN. Is the statue there for visitors to venerate or learn about?
Sorry if these are old topics, but I am new to this website and would like to see what the current status is. There isn't much/any current info on the ourladyofamerica.com website. Any help would be appreciated.
Good website. I like the Buddymap and the Our Lady of America presentation on the powerpoint. It helps to condense the events very concisely when you try to explain it to someone.
Hold on for a bit Margaret. I am sure someone will inform you on the answers to that, at least whether anyone knows or not.
I can tell you I have heard nothing of the Bishop's conference mentionoing OLOA, but then again I have no way of checking that out.
Maybe if you emailed the moderator at info@oltiv.org they MIGHT be able to give you answers to some of this.
We have heard nothing about the Bishop's conference and we have no idea about any ongoing EWTN connection. We have had emails from people who have said they have seen the statue at the Our Lady of The Angels chapel in Hanceville. Aside from that, we have seen no mention of OLOA anywhere on the EWTN website.
Maybe the www.ourladyofamerica.com people know?

I believe that even though there was the procession of the statue and enthronement at the Shrine of the Most Blessed Sacrament of Our Lady of the Angels Monastery, Mother Angelica's monastery, it was considered something not affiliated with EWTN.

There is a particular order of Franciscans, Franciscan Friars of the Immaculate promoting the cause - the ones who were also at the annual pro life march and who gave out info about OLOA and explained the history - and the priest affiliated with them was the one who gave the homily at the OLOTA monastery in Hanceville. One could always email the OLOA site and inquire as to whether they know if this cause might be brought up before the bishops' conference by those bishops who are already interested and backing the cause. I wouldn't demand. I would just inquire!!
I might suggest that the many who visit this website write emails to Archbishop Burke, (I wrote once and did receive an acknowledgement at least) - he is the Archbishop of St. Louis who presented the history and the statue, along with the OLOA reps, to the more recent gathering of bishops, and try to do this BEFORE the bishops' conference, requesting he present again the urgency of fulfilling our Lady's request for enthronement in Washington Basilica. He could then mention to the bishops the interest shown through the emails of the faithful here. You might include reference to the above link in the emails which mentions Rome City, as well as this website's link for the bishops to acquaint themselves with the ongoing happenings/miracles of this important place, Rome City, in the history of Sr. Neuzil - and tell him that devotions/rosaries/masses/confessions are taking place with ever more interest and enthusiasm. Ask him to specifically bring this cause for some decision for action by the bishops to carry forth at the earliest date.... IF they are concerned about the future of America!!

Hope this helps. Not only do we have to pound the hill, we have to pound the keyboards!!
There is new info on the www.ourladyofamerica.com website.

and read the article.
What a fantastic article on Our lady of America by The Immaculate Heart Messenger magazine.
This is a MUST read!
I have just looked at the photos that I took today 6/16/07 at Sylvan Springs, the orbs show in the photos of the chapel, and in 2 other places in the building. There was nothing visilbe to the eye when I was standing there.
Babygumbo-
that's exciting, but I guess it's to be expected. Maybe the best part is that it is more convincing because so many people have it occur when they take photos in these chapels and on the grounds.
could you send them to this website so they could be looked at and possibly posted so we can see them? the email is info@oltiv.org.
Pray for the Bishops this week and for Our Lady's request to be fulfilled soon.
Babygumbo-
what other places did orbs show up besides the chapels?
I'm wondering if there may have been something in the blue room with the oil coming down the walls?
Hello I am submitting the photos tonight, there are about 8 of them. The orbs show up in the small chapel, the Church and it several of the sleeping rooms. They did not appear in the blue room with the oil. I did smell flowers, but no roses in one of the rooms. I checked my lenses to make sure they were clean and the orbs appear in several different area in the photos. My boyfriend did not beleive, but he now agrees with me that something is there.
Just wait until you see the new photos from the June 8 rosary that were taken outside the main chapel while the sun was spinning. I saw the display at Sylvan Springs this week. I don't know if the world is ready for these because they are undeniably miraculous and show Our Lady right in front of the chapel doors.
Come to the Friday night rosary and see then for yourself.
If you cannot come, please remember to pray with us from where you are.
Also, don't forget to sign the Buddy Map.
Thanks for article!
