I invite you to read the conclusion of the captivating story of the life of Sister Marie de Mandat-Grancey, D.C.  Sister Marie played a major role in the discovery and preservation of Mary’s home in Ephesus.

Visit Our Lady’s Shrine

This summer, if you’re traveling through the Perryville area, drop by for a visit to our Lady’s Shrine.  Besides seeing our beautiful grounds and historic Shrine Church, you will be able to see the various changes that have been made to our campus including our new Heritage and Visitor Center.  Last fall a lovely bronze sculpture of our Lady was mounted on the front of the new Visitor Center.  It is an attractive addition to the building.Bronze statue of Our Blessed Mother mounted on the front of the Visitor Center

Pilgrimage Report

A few weeks ago, I returned from the Association’s pilgrimage to Greece and Turkey, in the footsteps of Saint Paul.  Saint Paul is a good example of what one can do when one answers God’s call in one’s life.  We remembered each of you in all the great churches and shrines we visited on our pilgrimage, and we prayed for you at Mass

Special Marian Pilgrimage This Fall

This October we have scheduled a 13-day pilgrimage to Poland, Prague, and Budapest.  We will visit sights that were important in the life of our late Holy Father, John Paul II; to Maximilian Kolbe, the Franciscan martyr; and to Sister Faustina, the author of the Divine Mercy devotion.  Read our brochure online and learn about all the fascinating places we will be visiting.
