The Novena will be held every year from
August 15th, Feast of the Assumption of Our Blessed Mother,
 to October 7th, Feast of Our Lady of the Rosary.
The Novena lasts for fifty four days
Please see below for details of the Rosary and its format.

 

The Novena consists of five decades of the Rosary each day for twenty-seven days in petition; then immediately five decades each day for twenty-seven days in thanksgiving, whether or not the request has been granted.
 

The meditations vary from day to day.
On the first day meditate on the Joyful Mysteries;
on the second day the Mysteries of Light:

on the third day the Sorrowful Mysteries,
on the fourth day the Glorious Mysteries;

and so on throughout the fifty-four days.
A laborious Novena, but a Novena of Love.
 

You who are sincere will not find it too difficult, if you really wish to obtain your request. Should you not obtain the favour you seek, be assured that the Rosary Queen, who knows what each one stands most in need of, has heard your prayer.
 

You will not have prayed in vain. No prayer ever went unheard.

And Our Blessed Lady has never been known to fail.
 

Look upon each Hail Mary as a rare and beautiful rose which you lay at Mary's feet. These spiritual roses, bound in a wreath with Spiritual Communions, will be a most pleasing and acceptable gift to her, and will bring down upon you special graces.
 

If you would reach the innermost recesses of her heart, lavishly bedeck your wreath with spiritual diamonds - Holy Communions. Then her joy will be unbounded, and she will open wide the channel of her choicest graces to you. 

"In an apparition of Our Lady of Pompeii, which occurred in 1884 at Naples, in the house of Commander Agrelli, the heavenly Mother deigned to make known the manner in which she desires to be invoked."

The Queen of the Holy Rosary favoured her with an apparition on March 3rd. Mary, sitting upon a high throne, surrounded by luminous figures, held the divine Child on her lap, and in her hand a Rosary. The Virgin Mother and the holy Infant were clad in gold embroidered garments. They were accompanied by St. Dominic and St. Catherine of Siena. The throne was profusely decorated with flowers; the beauty of Our Lady was marvelous.

"Child," responded the Blessed Virgin, "you have invoked me by various titles and have always obtained favours from me. Now, since you have called me by that title so pleasing to me, 'Queen of the Holy Rosary,' I can no longer refuse the favour you petition; for this name is most precious and dear to me. Make three novenas and you shall obtain all.'
