In the first issue of the 2023 Bulletin, Father Kevin introduces a new yearly theme based upon Saint Paul’s teaching in 1 Corinthians 12:12-27. We are all members of Christ’s mystical Body, the Church, created in perfection to live in harmony and unity with one another. No one member is less important or more valuable to the whole. Saint Therese of Lisieux is featured in this issue as a model saint to imitate during Lent. Read about her “Little Way” of love that she believed even very weak souls (like she considered herself to be) could follow to attain the holiness that God desires for each of us. Don’t miss the details of AMM’s 2023 May Procession, scheduled to commence at St. Mary’s of the Barrens (the Shrine Church) at 1:00 p.m. C.T., on Sunday, May 7, here in Perryville, Missouri.  Be sure to browse our gift shop’s spring religious items and order Easter cards to send the gift of Masses and prayers to loved ones. Thank you for your Vincentian spirit of humility, charity, and prayer. Know that you are remembered in the daily Mass and prayers by the Vincentian priests and brothers at the National Shrine of Our Lady of the Miraculous Medal.

We hope you’ll enjoy the winter issue of the Bulletin Newsletter with inspiring stories, including Father Kevin’s invitation to learn more about Saint Vincent de Paul, the founder of the Congregation of the Mission. Read about the National Shrine’s growing collection of sacred relics. In the Rays of Light, you’ll find a poetic message of hope when faced with sorrowful seasons of life. And, as always, we share inspiring testimonials from AMM members about blessings bestowed in their lives through the intercession of Mary, Our Lady of the Miraculous Medal.  

Your support for the Association of the Miraculous Medal at Christmas is a beautiful way to help the Mother of God become more known and loved by her spiritual children everywhere. This is our mission. Thank you again for being a part of our growing AMM family.

Don’t miss our issue of the Fall Bulletin Newsletter, AMM’s Spiritual Director, Father Kevin McCracken, C.M., reminds us that the heart of “being a Vincentian” lies in humbly responding to God’s call and blessings in our lives: to be devoted to serving others; to be charitable; to place all trust in God’s providence; and share Jesus’ love with the poor. We hope the stories of how an AMM member is living out the spirit will inspire your own daily journey. Don Fulford, AMM CEO of AMM, offers an insightful reflection for the season. Be sure to send your Holy Land pilgrimage intentions and request Christmas cards early. You are always welcome to help AMM strengthen our members by sharing your testimonial of faith and everyday ways you live out the Vincentian spirit.

In the first issue of the 2022 Bulletin newsletter, Father Kevin introduces a new yearly theme. "We are Vincentians” promotes the idea that each of us is a special part of the worldwide family of religious and lay persons devoted to the mission of Saint Vincent de Paul. Together, we serve the material and spiritual needs of the poor. By this we grow closer to Christ. Don’t miss your invitation to come to Perryville, Missouri, for the annual May Procession.

We all love a good story. In the summer issue of the Miraculous Medal Bulletin, Father Kevin’s message is about the powerful influence of stories in our lives and how the Holy Bible is the Story of stories. Don compares the mountains and valleys to the highs and lows of a well-lived life, and Father Ron writes about storytellers and expresses sympathy for those who have lost loved ones to the Covid-19 virus. The Summer Bulletin also contains a guide to Charitable Giving, information about three more of the marble statues on the new Marian Meditation Walk, and a personal testimony from a member who vouches for our Lady’s intercession. You will also find our new Votive Light Card “Prayers for You” that can be ordered. We hope you will take time to read these articles and more in the 2020 Summer Bulletin.
