Join members of Mary’s Association in praying for students and educators as they return to the classroom. You may share the names and/or burn a Votive Light for 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. You may request Back to School Votive Light cards to share with special students and teachers.

As Fr. Clay’s letter reminds us, you give a gift of priceless value in asking Our Lady, Seat of Wisdom, to watch over those you love along their educational pathway this school year.

Keep Mary close to your loved ones every day of the school year with a Backpack Mary Medal. This 3/4” tall, pewter Miraculous Medal features a lobster claw clasp that can be attached to a backpack, purse, keychain, or zipper. Available upon request for a suggested offering of $13.

Using Aceite Bendito with prayer is a meaningful moment for a student. We offer a half-ounce bottle of balsam fir-scented olive oil blessed at the National Shrine of Our Lady of the Miraculous Medal and touched to a relic of Saint Catherine Labouré.  Blessed oil is a Church-approved sacramental. Available upon request for a suggested offering of $19.

Request up to 100 free, blessed Miraculous Medals to distribute to Catholic schoolchildren, educators, and family members. Each comes on a card with a short story about the medal’s origin. (Browse AMM’s online gift shop for more gift options, Votive Light cards, rosaries, and more.)
