Open Letter
The following letter was submitted by Irvin L. Kloska of Elkhart, IN who was the organizer of the first official Our Lady of America pilgrimage to Sylvan Springs in Rome City, IN on July 14, 2006. Irv is one who has responded to Our Lady's call again and again. Here, he invites you to do the same and experience, for yourself, the loving embrace of Our Lady's arms as She receives you at the place She chose to reveal Herself as Our Lady of America in 1956.

My dear brothers and sisters in Christ:
Have you heard the call? What are you doing about it? As you have read on this BLOG some people have heard and have been rewarded handsomely. We have read here that Our Lady of America is asking to “bring me my children” “bring me all of my children”. When the Blessed Mother said this She said it at Sylvan Springs, so obviously She is calling us there. When Our Lady does something like this it is for a reason and in my mind She wants to give us something. That something can be graces, conversion, physical or emotional healing or simply peace. She did not say bring me my Catholic children. She said, “Bring me all of my children”!
We have had the privilege of praying with many people of different faith traditions over these past few years, including Jewish, at the Springs. I am confident in saying that they all received something from Our Lady and, or, Her Son Jesus.
The Blessed Mother appeared not only to Sister Mildred Mary Neuzil at Sylvan Springs, but also to two other people in the last year. Both of these current events were posted on this BLOG. She appeared to a woman from South Bend on July 14, 2006 and to a man from Huntington on May 24, 2007. Many healings and conversions have also been recorded. Do we need to hear more? Please answer Her call.
This morning I chartered a 56-passenger bus to go to the Friday night rosary on June 29, 2007. I am doing this on blind faith that I can fill it. I did the same thing for the “first pilgrimage” last summer when I booked 37 rooms at Sylvan Springs while not having a single person committed. In three days they were filled. Our Lady is here and She is calling us. I personally will do everything in my power to bring as many of the children I can to Her.
If you are a believer, I challenge you to do the same. Bring them by car, bring them by bus or bring them by plane. Bring as many as you can and as often as you can. You will not be sorry that you made the effort. Our Lord and His Mother cannot be outdone in generosity!
Peace to everyone in the name of Our Lady of America,
Irvin L. Kloska
Elkhart, IN

Irv,
Blessings on you. I truly wish that I was on that bus with you - never more have I felt at peace or among friends as I did the evening I appeared to pray the rosary.
I will be there in spirit, and will say my Friday rosary along with you all at 7:00 p.m.
Thanks Sylvan Springs and Our Lady for leading me home to my Mother. Our Queen deserves our veneration. Her immaculate heart has truly touched mine.
Recently I wrote that it was a bit far for me to jump in my car and travel from Texas to Rome City. Last Thursday, something kept after me to check airline schedules, well I have booked a flight for the first week of August and will go to Rome City with my friend who lives in Yorktown. I truly know in my heart the Blessed Mother is the one pushing me to come, as today I was diagnosed with several major health problems.
I am going to pray and ask the Blessed Mother for her guidance to lead me in whatever direction she is needing from me. After I made my reservation, my mind was finally at peace.
Just today another friend is looking into traveling to Rome City, as the Lady is asking "Bring me all my children".
I you are planning a bus trip and you are looking for more people to fill your bus, make your announcements here so people in your area may join you.
They may be willing to drive a couple hours to join a group who may be making a much longer trip.
You are invited to attend a Holy Mass at Sylvan Springs, this Friday, June 8, 2007 at 6:00 pm. Following this liturgy there will be exposition of the Blessed Sacrament while the participants pray the Rosary as on all Fridays.
We hope you will be able to join us for this spiritual experience.
Dear J Stolle,
Know you are in my prayers regarding your health. I feel I know you, as I do so many others, from this website.
May God bless and protect you with the intercession of Our Lady of America!
Please keep us updated, if you like, as to the exact days in August when you will be making your pilgrimage to the Springs. Perhaps, if it is OK with you, some of us who live much closer, might like to meet you and pray with you as you come to the Springs for the first time. Also know if you prefer this trip to be between you and Our Lady, your privacy will be respected.
God's Speed on your trip! I feel Our Lady of America will be opening Her arms to you when you get here.
God bless you,
In the Name of Our Lady of America the Immaculate Virgin.
T.W. South Bend, In
To Erin,
Re: your response in helping me find an article on OLOA, back in the post on More Photos, I asked what Sunday Visitor issue this article appeared on OLOA. You mentioned it was in Aug27, 2006. Unfortunately when I went into the archives to get the article to read it it said it was only for subscribers only.
Do you or anyone have a copy of that you could possibley put on this blog for me and all other to read?
Thank you Erin, for your time and information.
Peace,
Lhea
Lhea-
send your email to info@oltiv.org
and we will send a copy via email.
The Holy Mass that is mentioned to be at Sylvan Springs Friday; is that at the Springs, in the Chapel, or at a church in Rome City?
Thank you for the information.
The mass will be in the big chapel at Sylvan Springs at 6 pm before the rosary. Adoration and Reconciliation will also be part of this special event.
Thank you all for your interest. We hope to fill the big chapel again soon.
Please bring your whole family (and empty bottles, your camera, and your special intentions).
I just got back, from Sylvan Springs. The wonderful couple who are caretakers took us on a tour of the building. I have never felt so at peace. I did not know why I had to go there, but I did. I want to back again. My heart is peacful, the water from the spring is a gift from Our Lady.
Thanks for article!
