Deacon Jacques Philippeaux serves the Rosa Mystica Shrine with a deeply prayerful and reverent presence, rooted in a profound love for Our Lady—a love as vast as the ocean. Through his gentle leadership, he draws others into a deeper encounter with Christ through prayer and devotion.
A devoted husband to his wife, Mary, and a loving father, Deacon Jacques faithfully lives his vocation both within his family and in service to the Church. He leads the weekly Monday evening Rosary and hosts an annual retreat at the Shrine, offering opportunities for reflection, healing, and spiritual renewal.
Whether leading prayer or singing during processions, his reverence and devotion are deeply moving—touching both heart and soul. Through his quiet and faithful “yes,” Deacon Jacques continues to be a beautiful and powerful blessing to the mission of Rosa Mystica Shrine.
