The Blessed Virgin Mary, who has appeared in various countries in the world, appeared for the 1st time in Sri Lanka, on 5th February 1975. From that day onwards, she has so far, appeared in Sri Lanka, for 23 occasions.
The Shrine of Our Lady of Katunayake, where the Blessed Virgin Mary has appeared, is a Most Sacred Miraculous Ground, where people could currently obtain the privileges of the Blessed Mother Mary.
The Blessed Virgin Mary, who has appeared in this Most Sacred Miraculous Ground, has declared several messages for the people, who are living in this world. Out of the messages she has delivered, in few of them, she has requested people to recite the Holy Rosary. She has also explained how people could obtain abundance privileges by reciting the Holy Rosary.
Even though the Blessed Mother has requested people to recite the Holy Rosary and even though she has explained how they could obtain abundance privileges by reciting the Holy Rosary, yet, it seems that the Rosary is gradually getting pushed away from the modern society.
The Holy Apostle, His Holiness Rohan Lalith Aponso, who has considered all these factors, gathers people on and off and prays the Holy Rosary, in the Shrine of Our Lady of Katunayake.
Devotees show a great enthusiasm to recite the Holy Rosary along with the Holy Apostle, His Holiness Rohan Lalith Aponso, who was fortunate to see the Blessed Mother to his own eyes, in the Shrine of Our Lady of Katunayake, where she has appeared.
Most Holy Apostle, His Holiness Rohan Lalith Aponso, prayed the Rosary, in candle light, along with devotees, in the evening of Saturday 16th March 2013, in Sts. Peter and Paul garden of Our Lady of Katunayake’s Shrine
