Read Fr. Clay’s letter that shares a special invitation to be part of AMM’s May Procession on Sunday, May 4, at 1:00 p.m., CT, here at the National Shrine of Our Lady of the Miraculous Medal in Perryville, Missouri.

This beloved outdoor tradition dates back to 1921. The event draws hundreds of faithful to unite in prayer and to honor of Our Lady. We hope you will attend and bring a group of family, friends, or church acquaintances. All ages are welcome.

If you are unable to attend in person, you may add your personal intentions here for remembrance in prayer during the May Procession and throughout the month of May.

Following the procession at 3:00 p.m., a Spanish Mass will be celebrated inside the Shrine Church. The Liturgy will include the Rite of Investiture in the Miraculous Medal and live music.

The crowning of Mary, Mother of God, will also take place at Saint Vincent de Paul Catholic Church in Los Angeles at all the Sunday Masses on May 4 (8:00 a.m., 10:00 a.m., 12:00 p.m., 2:00 p.m., and 5:00 p.m., PT.) If you live near here, please consider attending one of these Masses.

Any gift you share in support of Our Lady’s ministry at AMM will be used to educate more people about Mary and — through her — bring them into closer union with her Son. Your contribution also supports Vincentian priests and brothers in their varied ministries and helps form tomorrow’s clergy. Thank you for your generosity. We hope to see you on May 4!
