SUMMARY:St. Joseph Church in Toms River\, New Jersey is embracing the Blessed Virgin Mary of Kibeho
DESCRIPTION:Our Lady of Kibeho\, also known as Our Lady of Sorrows of Kibeho\, is a Catholic title of the Blessed Virgin Mary based on the Marian apparitions reported in the 1980s\, before the horrible 1994 Rwandan Genocide.\n\n On Saturday\, November 28\, the feast day of Our Lady of Kibeho\, we will celebrate God’s love for all humanity at the 8am Mass\, followed by the Rosary of the Seven Sorrows.   The celebrant and guest speaker for the Mass will be Fr. Scott Shaffer\, pastor of St. Joseph Church. \n\nDevotion to the Blessed Virgin Mary of Kibeho gives the message that we stand firm against genocides occurring in the world.  The Blessed Virgin Mary of Kibeho urged the people of Rwanda to pray and seek God’s grace for true repentance and conversion. She taught the visionaries to pray the Rosary of the Seven Sorrows and to teach it to others.  She said\, “My message of repentance and conversion is not only for Rwanda\, but for the World”.\n\nThe Rosary of the Seven Sorrows provides a way to reflect on and pray for the innocent who suffer around the World\, while motivating communities to cultivate peace\, understanding\, and moral vigilance.
