THE PILGRIM ROSARY

Following Richard Bingold's death in 2019, The Pilgrim Rosary was under the temporary guardianship of the CNY Marian Center.   It is still a frequent visitor to the CNY Marian Center and also heads south in the winter with its guardians.

Richard Bingold and the
​Pilgrim Rosary

Richard Bingold passed away June 24, 2019, the Feast of St. John the Baptist and the 38th Anniversary of the first apparition in Medjugorje.  He devoted his life to Our Lady and made the beautiful Pilgrim Rosary of Our Lady of Medjugorje with stones from Apparition Hill.    If you knew Richard and would like to share an experience about him and the Rosary, please share a mes.sage with the Marian Center at [email protected] or mail it to CNY Marian Center, Attn:  Pilgrim Rosary Testimony, 5180 West Taft Road, North Syracuse NY   13212.
​This beautiful Rosary is often on display at the Marian Center but has become an official "snowbird" from mid November until late March.  See where we have been and what has been happening below the slideshow of Richard hosting an event at the Marian Center.

March 26, 2020 The Pilgrim Rosary is currently at home with a member of the CNY Marian Center.   Please send prayers and intentions to [email protected].  Daily Prayer will be offered for all intentions.

3/3  Tuesday Night Rosary at Bernadine's.   The table holding the Pilgrim Rosary  is the Credence Table from her former Church.   They were remodeling and she bought it.  It was a perfect table for Our Lady.  
We were a small and happy group that night but Bernadine led us in Val's Rosary Meditations and we had a beautiful night.   Bottom clockwise:  Margie, Paul, Bernadine, Blessed Mother, Cathleen, Regina

3/7   The Knights of Columbus invited the Pilgrim Rosary to their First Saturday Potluck Supper.  The food  was great and it was a casual conversation about Medjugorje and the Pilgrim Rosary.   We had time for some great questions about Richard, the Rosary and Medjugorje and shared personal experience and the story of the Pilgrim Rosary.

3/1/2020 Val, Debbie, Margie and I got together to pray at St. Francis Church.  We wanted to pray out loud and the Adoration Chapel had adorers so we went into the crying room.  We rearranged our chairs and set up the Pilgrim Rosary and prepared to pray.   When I sat down next to Debbie I looked at the wall and saw who was joining us in prayer.  Isn't God awesome!

We had a beautiful day at Holy Family Church, Hilton Head Island, celebrating the Feastday of Our Lady of Lourdes on February 11.   Deacon John DeWolfe led us in the Rosary.  Regina Harty gave a presentation on the Pilgrim Rosary sharing parts of Richard's story from his book, The Gift Giver.   Rosemary DeWolfe led us in song and we concluded with everyone invited forward to pray before the Rosary, the relic of the True Cross and picture of the relics that are in the Marian Center Chapel in North Syracuse.   See our video with the closing prayer and song to the right and our pictures below.

The Pilgrim Rosary was with this lovely group below for a Divine Mercy Holy Hour on 1/28.  Again we used Val Kelly's beautiful Rosary meditations of the Sorrowful Mysteries before the prayers of the Divine Mercy. ​

A wonderful night of prayer with this group below 1/21/2020.  Val Kelly has written a book of Rosary meditations that are used.   She is originally from Syracuse.

 This morning 2/1/2020, the Pilgrim Rosary was on display at Holy Family HHI, during Rosary and Mass.   Regina gave a brief presentation on the Rosary and First Saturday Devotion and all were invited up after Mass to see and touch the Rosary, ask questions and hear about the Rosary and its inspired creator, Richard Bingold.   Cherie held the Crucifix reliquary containing the relic of the True Cross for people to pray with and venerate.   February 11, we will pray the Rosary on the Memorial of Our Lady of Lourdes at 9AM and the Rosary will be presented then and again next First Saturday, 3/7 at the Knights of Columbus Parish event.

For the past several Wednesdays, the Pilgrim Rosary has been present to a group who prays a Pro Life Rosary weekly.   This loyal group prays the Rosary in the Holy Family Hilton Head Chapel or Church in petition to Jesus through Mary for an end to abortion.   

Thank you to the Ladies Guild of Holy Family, Hilton Head, for welcoming the Pilgrim Rosary to their January 2020 meeting.  After a presentation on Medjugorje and the Pilgrim Rosary, everyone was invited to come up and touch their own personal rosaries and religious objects to the Pilgrim Rosary, the Relic of the True Cross and a third class relic touched to the 58 Saint reliquary on loan to the CNY Marian Center.   Rosaries were also available from the CNY Marian Center.  On February 11, the Feast of Our Lady of Lourdes, the Pilgrim Rosary will be in the Church for Mass 8:00 followed by recitation of the Rosary 9:00AM.
