On Sunday, August 9, the National Shrine celebrated the veneration of the relic of San Jose Sanchez del Rio, a 14-year-old who was put to death in 1928 because he would not renounce his Catholic faith.

The shrine first received the relic in October, a piece of his collarbone, as it was petitioned from the bishop in Sahuayo, a town in the state of Michoacán, Mexico, where del Rio was from. We held a Rosary procession with mariachis, Mass in Spanish, and a social for the over 250 people in attendance. Many came from Port Chester, Mt. Vernon, Staten Island, and Yonkers, N.Y., as well as New Jersey.

“What a great way to grow spiritually with Jesus this weekend at the National Shrine,” Fr. Manny exclaimed. “These acts of faith of adoration, Mass, and veneration bring us closer to God and each other. We are looking forward to more events like these in the future.”

This past Saturday, the National Shrine of Mary Help of Christians held our annual Rise Up! Festival in celebration of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary. We started the day with an outdoor barbeque lunch and games on the field. The afternoon continued at the beautiful Outdoor Altar with live praise and worship music, Adoration, confession, and inspirational Mass celebrated by Most Reverend Pedro Bismarck Chau, D.D., Titular Bishop of Cadrum and Auxiliary Bishop of the Archdiocese of Newark. Mass was concelebrated by Fr. Manny Gallo, director, Fr. Pat Angelucci, and Fr. Tom Junis. Those in attendance were invited to receive a blessing by Fr. Tom as a newly ordained priest.

We thank those who attended for your presence and support, and all of our volunteers!
