Over the last few years Mary has been winding down her long distance travelling and spending more time at her retreat in Westhoughton near Bolton in the north west of England. This allows her time to visit her favourite Holy Shrines, many of which are within an easy couple of hours air travel. Many people pass on petitions and photographs with the request that Mary carry them with her on her next shrine visit. A lot of time is spent in prayer and meditation with these items.

Have no anxiety at all, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, make your requests known to God. Philippians 4:6

Mary's regular Prayer Office takes place each day at her Retreat at 9am, 12pm, 3pm and 6pm. Whilst visiting a shrine she tries to visit a church
shortly before the service to include your name and petition
or photo in her prayers.

You can send your petitions and photos by email using the
link below or by regular mail to Mary's Retreat House:

Mary will remove any sensitive data, leaving only your first name and the petition text.

If your photographs are of sentimental value, please send a photocopy rather than the original. After praying over them, they are normally left at the shrine for Our Lady's Blessing.

No charge is made for this as it is seen as a 'labour of love' by Mary. However, many people have expressed the desire to show their appreciation by offering a small token towards her mission. Since she is now semi-retired, Mary would appreciate this gesture of help towards travel costs.
