Join us for our Solemn Novena to Our Lady of the Miraculous Medal, from November 16 through 24. Fr. Timothy Lyons, CM, will be telling us the true stories about nine young Vincentians (and one not so young), who left everything they knew to spread the Gospel in China. Hear their stories, see some of their artifacts, and learn how the difficulties they faced can help us through our own challenges.

Two years ago, Buddy lost his wife to cancer. Taking care of her was undoubtedly hard, but his unwavering faith helped him through it. So did his devotion to Mary and her Miraculous Medal. Along with a smile, he always wears his Miraculous Medal in plain view--and carries a brochure in his truck. If you ask him about Mary's Medal, he’ll respond with a simple but well proven message: “We always have to keep the Blessed Mother and Our Lord in our hearts.” |

When St. Catherine Labouré described the rays that came from Mary’s hands, she used the word “rejaillissant,” which suggests “a breathtaking picture of dazzling light ‘bursting forth from all sides,’ like a fountain.” |

Last month's Survey was about Mary and the Rosary.
Everyone who participated said they were going to pray the Rosary every day in October, and 50% of you were going to take a Rosary walk (praying the Rosary while walking through your neighborhood or in the countryside.)
Thank you for your participation. This month, we’d love to hear your thoughts or questions for future surveys—or feel free to tell us other topics you'd like to see. Please send your suggestions to communications@cammonline.org. Thank you.

I was very sick in the hospital with an intestinal blockage and needed an operation. I prayed my Rosary and after eight days, I came home and did not need surgery. Thank you, Mary, for intervening on my behalf.

Beginning on November 16, our Miraculous Medal Family worldwide will join together in nine days of prayer to our Blessed Mother. And when we do that, lives are changed! Time and again, we've seen the power of our united prayers in asking Mary's graces upon us, our loved ones, and our world.
It’s so easy to get distracted by the problems in the world around us. Our hearts can become filled with fear and sorrow. But no matter what troubles we’re going through right now, we can lay them at our Holy Mother’s feet. Send us your prayer intentions as soon as possible, so we can place them at Mary’s Altar. They will remain there during these nine days of powerful prayer to Our Lady of the Miraculous Medal and on her Feast Day. Watch our livestreamed Masses, and be sure to pray with us no matter where you are.
