The Marian Shrine is Now Open For Private Prayer

The increase in the number of positive infected cases is very worrying. In order to support efforts to stop the spread of Covid-19 the Marian Shrine of Graha Maria will remain closed to the public until further notice. Thank you for your patience and understanding.
Let us observe the health protocols as recommended by the health authorities on using masks, maintaining safe distance, avoiding crowds, washing hands using soap with running water and continuing to support the government’s vaccination program so that this pandemic will end soon.
We continue to pray for God’s almighty and loving hand to heal Covid-19 patients. We also ask that we be kept away from Covid-19 virus so that our families do not also become victims of this spread.
We also pray that our medical workers and leaders will always be healthy, and wisely lead us all in this difficult time.
Help us, Mother of Divine Love, to carry out the will of the Father and do what Jesus told us to do. O holy Mother of God, we seek refuge under your protection.
Yours devotedly in the Lord.

The Shrine is still closed to the public as a Covid-19 containment measure. However, praying and taking holy water is only permitted at the main gate from 08.00-19.00 WIB (Monday to Saturday) and from 09.00 to 18.30 WIB (Sunday).
Thank you for your patience and understanding. Let us continue to pray for each other, especially those who have succumbed to this illness; and that the Lord will free us from this Covid-19 so that we can continue to worship freely and build up the community in love and service.
Pray also for those in the frontlines – the doctors and the nurses – who are putting their own well-being in the service of the sick; that the Lord will protect them and their loved ones from harm.
Yours devotedly in the Lord.
