Sunday, May 4, is the annual May Procession here in Perryville (3:30 p.m. CT), and the second annual procession in Montebello, California (1:30 p.m. PT). I hope you will be able to attend either event. If not, submit your intentions here to be remembered in the prayers said that day. The May Procession is a wonderful way to honor our Blessed Mother through the traditional May crowning.
Read Father Luke's message about the annual May Procession.

Mother’s Day will be here before we know it. Not only is Mother’s Day a time to honor our own mothers or someone who has been like a mother to us, but it is a time to remember that we have a spiritual mother in the Virgin Mary. The Association’s new Mother’s Day card includes a prayer for the one who receives the card, and a remembrance in the Association’s Mass on Mother’s Day and during the month of May. Send me your petitions to be remembered here at the Shrine May 11. Read more about how believers, for two thousand years, have felt in Mary’s touch the assurance of a mother’s love.

The Association invites you to join our fall pilgrimage to Greece and Turkey, October 28 to November 7, 2014. Father Charles Shelby, C.M., Associate Spiritual Director of our Lady’s Association, will once again be leading this exciting and spiritual journey covering places visited by St. Paul and other apostles and missionaries of the early Church. Ancient cities like Athens and Corinth will be explored along with Istanbul, Turkey and the city of Ephesus, where it is believed that the Virgin Mary spent her last days. Beautiful churches, basilicas, and monasteries will also be visited. A cruise will cover the majority of the pilgrimage in both Greece and Turkey. And there will be daily opportunities to celebrate Mass, pray the rosary, and talk with Fr. Shelby. For more information or to reserve your spot, please click here or call 1-800-264-MARY (6279). Space is limited. |
The spring pilgrimage to France ended recently and the participants arrived home safely. It was a true religious experience for them. To read Fr. Shelby’s accounts of the journey, click here.

In the March issue of the Miraculous Medal Bulletin, Fr. Luke writes about Ash Wednesday, Lent, and Easter. The ashes join us to Jesus, as does Lent. Penance, prayer, and charity will link us to Jesus in ways that will deepen our appreciation for all he has done for us. Read a message from the Association’s CEO, Donald Fulford, along with an update on our “Bring Mary to Kids” program. Join our fall pilgrimage to Greece and Turkey, October 28 to November 7, and save the date for our annual May Procession on May 4. Read the March Bulletin for more information. *Please note--after the March Bulletin was printed, the start date of the pilgrimage to Greece was changed to October 28.
