The event will consist of a moleben and the rosary, followed by a presentation regarding Our Lady's message as well as personal accounts of the Miracle of Garabandal by Dr. Michael and Helen Rozeluk of Canada. During a visit to Garabandal in 1994, Dr. Rozeluk was cured of painful, permanent injuries to his neck and jaw after being blessed with a relic medal blessed by Our Mother. Since that time, in gratitude, the Rozeluks have developed a powerful ministry of spreading devotion to the Blessed Mother and Her Son, Jesus. The couple will speak also about their 2002 and 2004 missions to Ukraine that spread the message of Garabandal. The day will conclude with the opportunity for all present to venerate an icon, the Medal of Our Lady of Mount Carmel. The sacrament of Reconciliation will be available to those who would like to go to confession. While the event will be conducted primarily in English, it will also be accented with Ukrainian.
