"Mary's Love Theme": Solemn Novena 2023

JOIN US at The Basilica Shrine from November 13-21 as we celebrate "Mary's Love Theme" and renew our devotion to Our Lady through our Solemn Novena.

This Novena, an extension of our weekly Perpetual Novena, is a special period on our annual calendar, when we unite in prayer on nine consecutive days, beseech our Blessed Mother for her extraordinary graces, and prepare ourselves to celebrate the Solemnity of Our Lady of the Miraculous Medal on November 22.

Our Solemn Novena is among many special events that will be hosted by The Basilica Shrine this fall. These captivating and spiritually enriching services and programs celebrate the constant presence of Our Lady and her Son, Our Lord Jesus, in our lives.

Visit us for The Anointing of the Sick (Sept. 25), the Feast of St. Vincent de Paul featuring music by Gen Verde (Sept. 27), and many other meaningful gatherings of the faithful. We are open daily for Holy Mass, as well.

Pray the Rosary Online

with the Daughters of Charity

One of the Blessed Mother’s enduring and universal messages to the world is to pray the Holy Rosary. The Basilica Shrine invites you to pray the Rosary Online every day and submit your intentions for placement at Our Lady’s altar.

Honor Our Lady for

Her Birthday

The Miraculous Medal and the Rosary unite us as one spiritual family—with Mary as our Mother. Won’t you join us in honoring Our Lady, Mary Immaculate, for her recent birthday by doing what she asks of us and come to her in prayer? Help us spread Marian devotion around the world through her Medal.

One night in the early days of the Church in Angers, France, a man was awakened by the sounds of angels singing in heaven. When he asked them the reason for their song, they told him they were rejoicing because this was the anniversary of the night the Virgin Mother was born. 

We are thankful to the Blessed Mother for her intercession with her Son for all of our prayers and petitions. Let us celebrate her loving presence in our lives.
