As president of Philadelphia's Donegal Association, Mary Boyle is leading a crusade to reconnect the city's Irish-American community with its roots through her support of the Our Lady of Knock Shrine and Grotto at The Miraculous Medal Shrine.
Holy Rosary Month
In celebration of the Month of the Holy Rosary, Fr. Timothy Lyons, CM, and Sr. Michelle Nguyen, DC, discuss the Marian character and scriptural depth of the Rosary prayer and its heavenly influence on our contemporary lives.
From November 14-22, the Shrine hosts its annual novena. This year's theme is "The Power of Mary: The Promise of Her Medal." As one family united by our devotion to Mary, we experience the rays of grace coming from her hands. The novena culminates with a celebration of the feast day of the Miraculous Medal on Wednesday, November 23. Attend in person or view via social media.
What modern-day saint hailed from Poland and lost both his parents before his 21st birthday? He would later become a priest and, through his writings, he would introduce the Luminous Mysteries to the Holy Rosary prayer. Hint: His feast is October 22.
