In the first issue of the 2024 Bulletin, Father Clay introduces this year’s theme, which highlights three important aspects of the Vincentian ministry. Mary’s Association remains deeply united with the priests and brothers of the Congregation of the Mission (Vincentian Fathers), as well as the Daughters of Charity. Along with faithful lay souls around the world, we all belong to a vast “Vincentian Family” whose members’ lives are marked by these elements lived out daily in our varied vocations.

We also remember the Venerable Felix De Andreis, C.M., the first Superior of the Vincentian Fathers in the United States. He was a man of remarkable character and tireless zeal for sharing Christ with others. The cause for his canonization has been opened.

Don’t miss the details of AMM’s 2024 May Procession, scheduled to commence at Saint Mary’s of the Barrens (the Shrine Church) at 1:00 p.m., CT, on Sunday, May 5, here in Perryville, Missouri. 

Be sure to browse our gift shop’s religious items and order Easter cards to send the gift of Masses and prayers to loved ones. In every season, you are remembered in the daily Mass and prayers here at the National Shrine of Our Lady of the Miraculous Medal.
