We hope to see you at the Association’s annual tradition on Sunday, May 7, 2023 at 1:00 p.m., CT, here in Perryville, Missouri. Joining us in person or in spirit is a wonderful way to honor Our Blessed Mother.

Making a charitable gift to Mary’s Association is another way you can play an important part in AMM’s spiritual works. Your contribution enables us to share the good news of Our Lady’s promised blessings and favors through the “Medal of the Immaculate Conception” -- known today as the Miraculous Medal.

Thank you for your faithfulness and generosity as we honor Mary throughout the month of May.

Your prayers for dearly departed loved ones are a powerful spiritual gift that can hasten their journey toward full and everlasting union with God. Join the Association’s observance of All Souls Day at the National Shrine of Our Lady of the Miraculous Medal on November 2. Sharing the names of deceased relatives and friends assures them of a special remembrance throughout the month of November as well as during the month of the anniversary of their passing. In his all-powerful existence that transcends the limits of earthly time, God can apply the merits of your prayers to assist your departed loved one. What a powerful gift this is! You may also request a Votive Light  to burn for your deceased loved ones. Father Kevin’s letter tells more about All Souls Day.

Nobody wants to talk about dying and especially what will happen to all of our personal items. Families can become overwhelmed as they go through the process of deciding what to do with all of their loved one’s valuables. The Fall Rays of Light Newsletter provides five tips to help you organize your collections, heirlooms, and documents to provide your children and heirs an organized and thoughtfully prepared estate.

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.
