Nestled in the foothills of upstate New York lies one of the Catholic Church’s best-kept devotional secrets— Rosa Mystica Shrine. Since 1975, these grounds have served as a place of physical, emotional, and spiritual healing reported by visitors, all while sharing a special message from Our Lady—first given to Pierina Gilli in 1947 and approved by the Vatican in 2024.
The Rosa Mystica Shrine unites two streams of heavenly grace.
The Blessed mother thru Pierina Gilli, Gave us the call of: prayer, penance, and sacrifice—especially for the sanctification of priests and the renewal of the Church. This message, first given in Montichiari and Fontanelle, Italy, has been officially recognized by the Vatican Dicastery for the Doctrine of the Faith, approved by Pope Francis.
From the Blessed Mother trhu Mother Elena Leonardi, spiritual daughter of St. Padre Pio, we receive the sacred commission: to build a House of Prayer where this call can be lived out daily. According to her testimony, she was entrusted with coordinates from the Blessed Virgin—coordinates that led to a remote hillside in Edmeston, New York. It is told that an alleged levitating statue marked the exact spot for the chapel, and upon her return, witnesses reported a weeping statue that confirmed Our Lady’s presence.
