Dear ,

Celebrating Miracles & Marching Forward: Dan Patch Parade Awaits! 🌹

Our hearts are still full from the Faribault Heritage Days Parade! If you missed the story, this year’s march was a true testament to faith and community. From last-minute rose miracles to the generosity of fellow parade-goers (thanks to a go-kart crew for a much-needed gallon of gas!), every obstacle was overcome by trust and teamwork. Read the full story and see photos in our latest blog post about the Faribault Heritage Days Parade.

We are deeply grateful to the World Apostolate of Fatima for sharing their beautiful statues and to the Knights of Columbus for their steadfast support. Your generosity and faith make these moments of grace possible for all who march and all who receive.

Let’s Take Up Space for God!

Our mission is simple: to honor Jesus Christ by bringing Mary’s presence into our communities through public processions, sacred encounters, and the gift of a rose. Every step, every rose, every prayer makes a difference.
