Association of the Miraculous Medal

Safe Summer Travels

“The Lord is your guardian; the Lord is your shade at your right hand. The Lord will guard your coming and going both now and forever.”  Psalm 121:5,8

Blessings on your summer travel.

We hope your plan includes visiting the National Shrine of Our Lady of the Miraculous Medal in Perryville, Missouri, where you can personally place your prayer intentions. Remember, our church has been designated as a Jubilee Year sacred site, where the faithful may gain a plenary indulgence. To obtain an indulgence, a Catholic must meet the “usual conditions”: be truly repentant and free from any attachment to sin, go to the sacrament of confession (available at the Shrine Church on Mondays at 11:45 a.m.), receive Holy Communion, and pray for the intentions of the pope.

If a visit is not possible, you may include your intentions for remembrance in the daily Mass and prayers and burn a Votive Light for your needs from the comfort of your own home using this link.
