Solemnity of the Immaculate Conception Octave of Masses Begins Monday, December 8
Join fellow members of the Association of the Miraculous Medal in our annual 8-day celebration of the Immaculate Conception. In 1854, Blessed Pope Pius IX defined the Church dogma stating that the Blessed Virgin Mary was preserved exempt from all stain of original sin.
Twenty-four years earlier, in 1830, Mary indicated having been “conceived without sin,” as this phrase appears on the Miraculous Medal, she instructed Saint Catherine Labouré to create and promote.
You are invited to entrust your prayer intentions to Mary for remembrance throughout the Masses being offered at the National Shrine of Our Lady of the Miraculous Medal in Perryville from December 8-15.
Praying this prayer daily during the Octave of Masses can unite you in spirit with fellow AMM members. You may also request a Votive Light to burn as a special sign of your love for the Mother of God — the pure and holy queen through whom all of heaven’s blessings flow!
