In July's inSPIRE, we asked why you wear the Miraculous Medal.
Those who responded said they wear it as a reminder of our Blessed Mother's love for them. Eighty percent wear it as a reminder of the graces Our Lady has promised, and another eighty percent wear it as a sign of their devotion to Mary. Fifty percent wear it to remember to call upon Mary in our difficult moments, and thirty percent wear it because our Mother designed it.
We also asked how many of you are invested in the Miraculous Medal. Fifty percent of you are, and fifty percent are not.
Do you live too far from the Shrine to be enrolled by one of our Vincentians? Bring
this
investiture document
to your parish priest, and he can enroll you.

I prayed for one year to Our Blessed Mother that, after a challenging year of disappointments, my son would be offered a residency position in orthopedic surgery. Our Lady helped him become a better man over that year, and I pray that he will be a kind doctor who comforts many people. Thank you for answering my prayers, Blessed Mother.

Ever since St. Patrick arrived on the shores of Ireland preaching the Catholic faith, the Irish have held a deep love for the Mother of God in their hearts.
When she appeared in Knock more than 13 centuries later during the Great Hunger, she brought the people comfort and hope. She brought them strength and renewal. And she brought them her Son.
Their devotion to her could only deepen. That love has bridged the distance between Philadelphia and Knock, uniting the faithful in both places for a unique event.
In collaboration with the Knock Shrine in County Mayo, we'll see the lovely sites of Knock, hear about the apparition and message from the rector, Fr. Richard Gibbons, enjoy the musical stylings of Co. Mayo Irish tenor Cathal Gavin and America's own Andy Cooney – and be entertained by the Rince Ri Irish Step Dancing School, and Bagpipes.
Enjoy Ireland without leaving Philly
. Be part of this exceptional day by bringing your love for Mary, your prayers, and your hope — and
help build a brighter future by
building a shrine to Our Lady of Knock
.
O Mary, conceived without sin, pray for us who have recourse to thee.
