Mother’s Day is a wonderful opportunity to seek Mary’s intercession for someone special in your life by sending one or more of our Mother’s Day Spiritual Remembrance Cards. The beautiful cards promise your recipient(s) a special remembrance in the Masses offered here at the National Shrine of Our Lady of the Miraculous Medal — both on Mother’s Day and throughout the month of May. You may burn a Votive Light for your loved one as another sign of your love. 

As always, any offering you include is deeply appreciated and will help spread devotion to Our Lady and draw more people closer to her Son, Jesus. Read Fr. Kevin’s letter to learn more. 

Please take a moment to read Father Kevin’s Easter letter telling of the Association’s work to share the joy of the Resurrection. As part of AMM’s ministry to members, we offer beautiful Easter cards you can request and send to loved ones. The card assures the recipient of a special gift of prayer on Easter Sunday and remembrance in the Easter Octave of Masses.

Any petitions you wish to send will rest near Mary’s National Shrine Altar to be remembered throughout Lent and our Easter celebrations. Also, you are invited to join hundreds of members in our AMM family who are requesting a Votive Light to represent their spiritual presence at the Shrine here in Perryville, Missouri.

We are an Easter people, infinitely blessed by God “ … who in his great mercy gave us a new birth to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead...”  1 Peter 1:3

Ash Wednesday is February 17. Throughout the holy season of Lent, let us pray through Mary to unite ourselves more fully with her Son, Jesus Christ. AMM offers various resources and opportunities to help you along your spiritual journey:

• Send your special intentions to be placed near Mary's Shrine Altar

• Request a Votive Light to burn

• Pray this Ash Wednesday prayer 

• Pray this prayer for Lent each day

• Request Easter Cards to send to loved ones
