The Summer Bulletin continues the theme of 2022 which highlights the Vincentian way of life. This issue focuses on the Daughters of Charity, the religious order of Sisters co-founded by Saints Louise de Marillac and Vincent de Paul. Father Kevin shares some highlights of the Daughters’ distinguished history, and Sister Kathleen Murray, D.C., reveals the heart of her Marian spirituality as a current member. Send a ray of sunshine to a loved one by requesting the new Votive Light card pictured on page 10. And don’t miss Don’s poignant remembrance of a friend whose life and vocation reflected the hard work and selflessness at the very heart of the Vincentian charism. There’s plenty more to enjoy in the Summer Bulletin. 

Do you know someone whose life is marked by “the Vincentian spirit”? We would love to hear about their life of faith. Call or write us anytime at 1-800-264-6279 or ammfather@amm.org.

We hope you’ll take a moment now to enjoy the Association’s Spring Bulletin newsletter. We’ll be celebrating family life and sharing stories of earthly and spiritual families. Father Kevin shares a look back on his early years with family, growing up in California. Father Ron offers some very practical ways families can observe Lent together in prayer—thus growing closer to one another through that. Don’t miss Don Fulford’s reflection on one elderly couple’s enduring love. And there’s a special invitation to your family to visit the National Shrine of Our Lady of the Miraculous Medal here in Perryville – for our annual May Procession, or anytime!

At AMM, it is our mission and our promise to do all we can to support you and your family through prayer along your spiritual journey. We hope the Spring Bulletin inspires your Lent!

In the 2019 Winter Bulletin, Father Kevin concludes his series on the universal call to holiness—sainthood. All of us are asked by God to serve him, to love him, and to be with him forever. Don reflects on those family members who have passed away, but vividly remembers the gifts of time, love, and grace he shared with them. A new Votive Light card is available to use during the winter months to share with someone who is in your thoughts and prayers. Read about our volunteer program and how we reached our goal of distributing two million Miraculous Medals in 2019. To see how you help us do our Lady’s work, a financial accountability report for 2019 is included. To learn about opportunities for making a Year-End gift to the Association, be sure to read the Winter Bulletin.

In the first issue of the Miraculous Medal Bulletin, Fr. Kevin talks about life being one beautiful, ongoing remodeling project. He states that the remaining Bulletin articles this year will explore the models of heroic virtue who will help remodel us in the image of Jesus. This will include the lives of some great saints who bring us closer to Jesus through their intercessory prayers. Don writes about the deaths of his parents and how they are with him always. Fr. Ramson’s article touches base on Lent and temptations. You will also find information about our Two Million Medals Campaign that we are kicking off this year along with an invitation to our annual May Procession. The spring Bulletin contains our 2019 Spring Gift Brochure. Look for new items as well as the other religious items suitable for First Communion, Confirmation, Mother’s Day, and Father’s Day. Our new Easter Cards are also introduced. We hope you will take time to read these articles and others in the 2019 Spring Bulletin. 

In the summer issue of the Miraculous Medal Bulletin you will find articles about devotion to the Miraculous Medal from Sr. Germain, who has been a Daughter of Charity for 60 years, and from Bella Davila, who will begin her pre-postulancy with the Daughters of Charity in September. Father Thomas Hinni, C.M. writes about “prayer on the run” which all of us can apply on a daily basis. An invitation to attend a special Mass on October 14 is included along with more pictures of the many renovation projects in the Church and on the grounds. You will also find our new Angel Votive Light Thinking of You Card that can be ordered along with our three 100th Anniversary rosaries.  We hope you will take time to read these articles in the 2018 Summer Bulletin along with Fr. Kevin’s own article on prayer and Don’s message “Just Listen.”
