… following the footsteps of fellow AMM members and friends as they travel the same roads and riverbanks where Mary accompanied Jesus throughout his earthly life. 

From November 4-14, Father Kevin McCracken, C.M., Spiritual Director of the Association of the Miraculous Medal, will lead a pilgrimage through the Holy Land where he will offer daily Mass, and remember in prayer the petitions received from AMM members. You are invited to send your prayer intentions  for remembrance throughout this spiritual journey. AMM is offering a sacramental to represent your presence along this journey. It is a beautiful Olive Wood Palm Cross, in which a blue enamel Miraculous Medal is inset. Your Palm Cross will be carried with us to the Holy Land, where it will be blessed and then mailed to you the week of November 21, following our return. 

Read Father Kevin’s letter to learn more. Follow our itinerary, and recite the prayer to Our Lady of the Miraculous Medal each day of the journey. Watch Facebook, Twitter, and AMM’s website homepage for daily updates throughout the pilgrimage.

We are just over two years into the restoration/renovation project for the historic Church, National Shrine of Our Lady of the Miraculous Medal, grotto and grounds in Perryville, Missouri. The construction projects are nearly complete, and a few Marian statues are still being carved in Italy.  We thank you! If you’ve not been able to contribute financially but would still like to do so, we certainly welcome your assistance as we finalize this effort. Read Fr. Kevin’s letter containing more information about the restoration/renovation project.

It is hard to imagine that it has been 100 years since the Association of the Miraculous Medal began in Perryville, Missouri.  As we celebrate together the Association’s centennial anniversary, send us your prayer intentions to be included in the special Mass at our Lady’s Shrine on October 14 at 2:00 p.m., CT. I also invite you to burn Votive Lights at the Shrine as a sign of your prayer to Mary for her miraculous intercession for your intentions. Read Fr. Kevin’s letter with more information about the Association’s 100th anniversary, and our October event.
