Read Fr.Kevin’s letter about the divine occurrence which coincided with the birth of Saint Catherine Labouré, along with his invitation to be part of AMM’s May Procession taking place Sunday, May 7, at 1:00 p.m., CT, here at the National Shrine of Our Lady of the Miraculous Medal in Perryville, Missouri. 

We hope you will come to the Shrine to pray with us in person. Please join us in spirit if you are unable to attend. I invite you to send your Intentions to be remembered during the May Procession and throughout the month of May.

Sharing a gift in support of Our Lady’s ministry at AMM can be another meaningful expression of your love for Our Blessed Mother. Your offering will help educate more people about Mary and — through her — bring them into closer union with her Son. Your contribution also supports Vincentian priests and brothers in their ministries and helps form tomorrow’s clergy. Thank you for your generosity. We hope to see you on May 7!

Are you or someone close to you in need of healing this Lent?

You are invited to attend the Association’s Mass of Healing Remembrance at the National Shrine of Our Lady of the Miraculous Medal. The Liturgy takes place Monday, March 6, at 12:10 p.m., CT, and will be live streamed on the Association’s Facebook page.

Share your special intentions here. They will be entrusted to Our Lord through Our Blessed Mother’s intercession. You may also request a Votive Light to burn for these same needs.

“O Mary conceived without sin, pray for us who have recourse to thee.”

May God look upon you with compassion and bestow the wholeness of body, mind, and spirit that you seek.

“... for I, the Lord, am your healer.” Exodus 15:26

The Association of the Miraculous Medal offers beautiful Easter cards you can send loved ones. Each card offers the recipient a special remembrance in the Easter Octave of Masses held at the National Shrine of Our Lady of the Miraculous Medal in Perryville, Missouri.

Don’t miss Fr. Kevin’s Easter reflection, which reminds us of Mary’s role in walking beside us in our times of need, showering us with heaven’s graces, and rejoicing with us as we seek spiritual renewal this Easter.

The special intentions you share will rest near Mary’s Altar at the National Shrine to be remembered throughout the Lenten and Easter seasons. You may also request a Votive Light to burn in silent witness to your faith in lifting up your needs to Our Lord through Our Blessed Mother.

Throughout the holy season of Lent, let us pray through Mary that we will attain a closer union with God, who is all-merciful and all-loving. AMM offers a variety of ways to assist you during your spiritual journey this Lent:

Together, let us ask Our Lady of the Miraculous Medal to bring us into ever greater union with her Son, Jesus, who has saved us through his holy passion, death, and resurrection.
