    The prayer of the Lady of All Nations has been known since the 50's in Brazil and was approved in 1970 by the former archbishop of São Paulo. Nevertheless, Archbishop Bruno Gamberini of the diocese Barança did not hear of its existence until 1995.
After the ecclesiatical approval of the apparitions of Amsterdam in 2002, Archbishop Bruno Gamberini, who at the time was bishop of the diocese of Campinas, expressed his desire to build a parish church or shrine dedicated to the Lady of All Nations.
     
  Thanks to donations from Germany and the Netherlands, the construction of a parish church that will provide accommodation for 800 people was started in September 2003. On May 31, 2004, his Excellency Dom Bruno placed and consecrated a memorial stone.
Unfortunately, the work is now at a standstill due to a lack of money needed to continue construction. The local Catholics are too poor to bear the costs themselves and, at present, the flow of new donations has dried up.
   

 

Brazil, Atibaia    
  A Dutch missionary has been working in Atibaia since 1987, and since 1998 he has labored there for the message of the Lady of All Nations. In 1999 he ordered the printing of 150,000 prayer cards as well as 10,000 larger images. He recently had another large batch of cards and images printed.
In his church in Atibaia images of Our Lady are venerated, originating from six different places where Mary appeared, including the image of the Lady of All Nations.
     
Brazil, Porção (Pernambuco)    
  On the 4,000 ft. Mount Dunga in Porção there is a monument built by Fr. Henrique Broker OFM, honoring the Holy Spirit and the Lady of All Nations. Records dating from 1971 show that already then there were frequent penitential processions made there for peace in the world.
     
Surinam, Paramaribo    
  In Paramaribo, Surinam, the prayer of Amsterdam is beautifully depicted on the outer wall of the church of the Holy Redeemer, situated at the Schietbaanweg.
     
Trinidad    
 
The Archbishop of Port of Spain His Grace Edward Gilbert consecrated on June 1, 2008, the Lady of All Nations Church in D'Abadie Trinidad.

In Europe

     
Austria    
  A Marian shrine which has stood for decades along a well traveled highway is being renovated. As the owner and craftsmen were considering which image they should use, the owner remembered a memorial which had hung there 25 years ago and which he still had stored in his attic: Our Lady before the Cross. Now the Lady of All Nations hangs in this little memorial along with prayer cards.
     
Belgium, Tienen    
  Michel Vanwinckel has experienced a great deal of support and help from the Lady of All Nations. For this reason, he has erected a little chapel to honor Her. This chapel was consecrated during the celebration of the Eucharist on September 8, 2004.
The chapel is situated in his garden and is open to everyone, at all times.
His address is: Werkmanssteeg 21, 3300, Tienen, Belgium.

Italy, Rieti    
  Colli di Amatrice, Rieti: By following a charming Benedictine trail through the forest, you can arrive at a little 13th century shrine called the ‘Hermitage of the Most Holy Cross’. Through the initiative of the ‘Eucharistic Cenacle of the Most Holy Cross’, an image of the Lady of All Nations was placed there in November 1999.
To visit the hermitage and go inside, it is best to speak first with the pastor of Scai as it is rarely open.

Switzerland, Ticino    

  Stray hikers can unexpectedly come across a small free standing memorial made of granite where the mountain folk frequently gather spontaneously before the Lady of All Nations in the summer months. The children bring her flowers and young and old alike take the prayer cards available there. Those who built it agree that the blessings are tangible—the Mother of All Nations unites her children.
The pastor consecrated the memorial on September 8, 2002.

Switzerland, Wallis    


Since August 2003, it has been possible for pilgrims to hike to the Lady of All Nations in the Swiss Alps. In a chapel consecrated to St. Wendelin in Findeln, Staldenried, the Lady of All Nations is depicted in one of the five stainglass windows. The prayer cards which were left there after the consecration of the chapel were all gone within a week. A family mother there is always ordering more to keep the chapel stocked.

In Asia

     
Indonesia, Bali   2007

(Lady of all Nations) in
Bali.

How the enlarged church
will look like
 

This church has become too small as every Sunday more than 2000 believers, tourists included, attend the Holy Mass. The church has been enlarged under the supervision of Mr. Djaya. Funds were provided by three catholic government ministers and eminent catholic leaders like the former minister Frans Seda. Also the governor of Bali promptly gave his permission. See also: http://www.ladyofallnations-bali.com/

Mr. Djaya was a protestant believer. He became catholic when his youngest son, David, was at the point of death due to serious heart disorders. Seeing his wife, Lina, praying fervently the rosary, Mr. Djaya wanted to know what she was doing. She answered that she was begging Mother Mary to heal their son. Without any hesitation Mr. Djaya followed her example. Both went often in front of the Lady of all Nations. And the Lady granted their prayers! To the astonishment of the surgeon and all the other doctors the boy recovered miraculously. Mr. Djaya changed his name into Franciscus Assisi Djaya and has since then become the most faithful disciple of the Lady. He states: “All my requests I directed to her, have been fulfilled. It is really amazing!”



Even the taxi drivers, mostly natives from Flores and Western Timor (fervent catholics), every Sunday attend the Holy Mass bringing tourists to the church of the Lady of All Nations!
     
Indonesia, Bogor    
  Bishop Angkur took part in the Third International Day of Prayer in Amsterdam in 1999.
The construction of this church in honor of the Lady of All Nations in his diocese, Bogor, has been finished in 2007.
     
Japan, Akita    
 
One of the Prayer Cards reached the faraway Convent in Akita.

This is the statue of the Lady of All Nations, finished in 1963, which, as is well known, later shed tears.
     
Philippines, Bibincahan    
  Mrs. Sally Lee, who became Mayor of Sorsogon City with the help of the Lady of All Nations, had this chapel in honor of the Lady of All Nations built in Bibincahan.
     
Philippines    
  Pieter van der Veen and Chiel van Soelen visited in the beginning of 2008 the Philippines.

These two professional translators from the Netherlands spend a few months each year in India and elsewhere in Asia visiting bishops and people throughout those countries to help them come to know and love the Lady of All Nations.

In Africa

     
Central African Republic  
  From October 5-7, 2004, 4,000 people attended the yearly Marian Congress in Mobaye. The bishop read the greetings and blessing from the Chapel of the Lady of All Nations in Amsterdam to those assembled there. Father De Groot wrote that the little chapel there with the image of the Lady of All Nations was packed day and night in those days with people who sang and prayed continuously.
     
Congo    
 

A little Church with the Image of Amsterdam was consecrated in 1993 in Bokonzi in the diocese of Budjala.
During the past International Day of Prayer, a national day of prayer took place simultaneously in Congo. More than 2,000 believers came together for this on June 8, 2003. After the Mass, procession, and Eucharistic Adoration there was a proper African banquet with two pigs, fish, a small crocodile and other specialties.

     
Nigeria    
  This is a photo of a church that is being built in Nigeria. The late Bishop Oga Orgah of the diocese Otukpo came in 1999 to the Third Day of Prayer in spite of serious illness. Deeply convinced of the importance of these messages, he returned to Nigeria and, in a pastoral letter, called for the spreading of her image and prayer. His former vicar general and now successor, Bishop Apochi, who came to Amsterdam for the Sixth International Day of Prayer, made this intention very much his own.
