DIDYOUKNOW?
April is the month of the Holy Eucharist. The word "Eucharist" comes from the Greek word "eucharistia," which means "thanksgiving." Our Mass is called the Eucharist because it is the holiest form of Thanksgiving to God that we can give Him. And there is no greater way to thank God and draw His blessings on earth than by attending Mass.

When you send one of our Easter Mass cards to your family or friends who are hurting, sick, or struggling to find meaning in their lives, God showers the blessings of every one of those Masses on them. What better gift could there be?


Thank you for any donation you can give. All we're doing to bring Mary’s miraculous intercession to our suffering world everything from our 24-hour prayer line, to our Novena Masses, Shrine celebrations, and our online outreach would not be possible without your support.
