Thank you! God bless the great people of Butte, Montana for giving Our Blessed Mother such a beautiful home and such a loving welcome. I can't wait to visit. ✨Our Lady Of The Rockies, pray for us. ❤️🙏

Thank you to the men of Butte who put their hearts and skills, gifts from God, to putting Our Lady of the Rockies in full view.

Incredibly beautiful and moving….I, too, truly believe that Jesus and Mother Mary always help fulfill a person’s promise of love. Love is the answer to everything! 🙏🏻💕⛪️

Oh, that's so beautiful. You people of Butte, you must be so proud of your faith, of your determination, of your saying yes, to Our Lady. Thank you for a very inspiring story!

Every day at noon I say an Our Father and a Hail Mary, thanking God and the Blessed Mother for looking after my children, my grandchildren, my family, and my friends. I ask Their help to be a better person. This story is an inspiration. Bless my granddaughter, a student at the university, for bringing it to my attention today, Christmas Day, 2023. Another blessed day. 😊😊🙏🙏😊😊🙏🙏

Butte’s richness was never in a hill. It was always in it’s people.

My thoughts too

[@markmiller3308]

@@jaydaawg.8191 Parents and Grandparents are from Butte, all my Aunts and Uncles are from there too. Didn’t live there but for a few weeks a Summer but consider that more my hometown than the place I was born in, even the place I grew up in and lived for the past almost 40 Years isn’t my “Hometown” as much as Butte. When I go there I still run into people my family has known and get treated like a local. Proud that locals in Butte, America, USA think of me as one of theirs. Some of the friendliest and best people around.

I am saddened to learn this sweet man passed away and yet I never knew him.. I so remember tough times in the eighties and now once again this past few years we’re going through it again. Thank You to all who were a part of this wonderful project.. I see The Lady Of The Rockies twice a year on trips to Oregon and Idaho and back yearly… Please never ever take her down those families deserve to see her remain there forever and so do the rest of us who skip a beat viewing her from below..

I guess people have to see to believe. The Holy Bible said what it says. Why cannot people just believe what they read? And that she appeared at Fatima, Portugal and Lourdes, France and other places. Is that not enough? The earth is being destroyed only because we will not simply believe. I pray that people will believe on the name of Jesus and the whole Holy Family always. Amen.
