The Missionary Rosebushes of Saint Therese of Lisieux
The Rosebush Movement was established by Irene Farley of Saint Cyrille, Quebec Canada on Nov. 19, 1922 and founded to honor the memory and work of Saint Therese of Lisieux... This movement uses donations collected from around the world, to encourage men living in needy third world countries to enter the priesthood...Donations are called "seed money" and in the beginning were as modest as a quarter. Currently, donations begin at one dollar, and rosebush scholarships require $1,500 to complete...Through these spiritual and financial rosebushes, many perpetual scholarships have been instituted that allow young men from poor families to pursue religious vocations...After ordination, these new priests return to their homelands as missionaries, spreading Christ's word. In the 76 years since the rosebush ministry began, more than 1,130 scholarships have been established, 640 priests have been ordained, 1600 seminarians have received or are receiving financial assistance...The cloistered sisters of the Adorers of the Precious Blood, assumed responsibility for the work of the Missionary Rosebushes of Saint Therese of Lisieux...The Consolers of the United Hearts of Jesus and Mary Lay Apostolate completed a Missionary Rosebush in 1999...Within months, another Rosebush was established for the United Hearts Prayer Line...The newly ordained seminarian is obliged to pray for his sponsor during his priestly life...Anyone wishing to assist The United Hearts Prayer Line in completing this Rosebush will have their names sent to this priest for prayers...For more information e-mail the webmaster, noted at the bottom of this page. If any individual, prayer group, or church organization would like to establish a Missionary Rosebush, please contact The Precious Blood Monastery, 700 Bridge St, Manchester, NH. 03104, c/o Sr. Mary Agnes, or e-mail the webmaster at consolers@comcast.net
