Under Mary's Mantle
Join us at the Shrine on the first Wednesday of every month to delve into the beauty of our Catholic faith and help build a solid Catholic foundation for our preschool children (ages 3 to 5). Each month we'll focus on a particular topic and provide fun activities for the kids and their parents or guardians.
October is dedicated to the Rosary, and your kids can be, too! This month we'll make the Rosary appealing to children by helping them learn about the Rosary, what a powerful prayer it is, and how to pray one decade. And we'll also make a child‐friendly, one‐decade Rosary that they (and you) can bring home and pray together.
Date: Wednesday, October 6, 2021
Time: 10:30 a.m. - 12:45 p.m.
Location: The Miraculous Medal Shrine

The countries of Malta, Mexico, the Philippines, and Spain also have their own devotions to the Infant Mary. Many saints, including St. John Eudes, St. Joseph Cupertino, St. Padre Pio, and St. Jeanne de Lestonnac (founder of the Companions of Mary) had a deep love for the Blessed Mother as an infant, as well. |

Our Lady helped me to become closer to, and have a better relationship with, my Mom. She guided me to good employment when I was in need and didn’t know which direction to go.

Did you know that devotion to Mary as an infant dates back to 1007? That's when the church of Santa Maria Fulcorina was dedicated to Our Lady's Nativity. Eventually, that church became the Cathedral of Milan, and in 1251 Pope Innocent IV granted a plenary indulgence for anyone who visited the Cathedral on the Feast of Mary's Nativity.
In 1876, a wax image of Maria Bambina (the baby Mary), which was sculpted by a Poor Clare sister in 1735, was transferred to the Motherhouse of the Sisters of Charity. Soon, miracles of healing were reported, and the statue was processed to the sisters' chapel. Every year on September 8, the Feast of Mary's Nativity, Our Lady's statue is exposed for veneration.
In two days, we'll be celebrating Mary's Nativity. Send us your prayer intentions, and we’ll place them at the foot of Mary's Altar at the Shrine for the entire month. |
