As teachers and students prepare to return to the classroom, please join AMM members in praying for them. Click here to share the names of those you’d like remembered in the daily Mass and prayers offered at the National Shrine of Our Lady of the Miraculous Medal throughout the coming school year. For a suggested offering of $10 each, you may also request the “Backpack Mary Medal” with a lobster claw clasp to give as a thoughtful back-to-school gift for a special child, grandchild, or teacher. You may also request up to 500 free, blessed Miraculous Medals on story cards to distribute to Catholic schoolchildren, educators, and family members. Each medal comes on an attractive fold-over card explaining its origin. (Browse AMM’s online gift shop for more medal options, Votive Light cards, and more.)

As Fr. Kevin’s letter reminds us, Mary desires to bring her children to the fullness of truth. She inspires teachers and students who are open to her promptings. Our Lady, Seat of Wisdom, pray for us!
