The Association for The Arch of Triumph of the Immaculate Heart of Mary and International Shrine of the Holy Innocents the Association’s purpose is to build a truly world-class, globally significant shrine, to be located on the shore of Lake Erie adjacent to downtown Buffalo.

 

Association of the Miraculous Medal The Association is a Catholic ministry, and we try to live out what we believe through the way we serve. Within the limits of our (very human) resources, we try to represent the Virgin Mary. She is mother of God and mother of the Church. As she loves all her children, so we also try to be her hands lovingly embracing and caressing her children when they need care and comfort. Supporting the work of the Association, the National Shrine of Our Lady of the Miraculous Medal is a center of prayer. Our first mission is to promote devotion to the Virgin Mary, especially as our Lady of the Miraculous Medal.

 

Basilica of the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception As the United States’ patronal church and preeminent Marian Shrine, the Basilica is a place of prayer and pilgrimage for hundreds of thousands of visitors each year.

 

The Blue Army of Our Lady of Fatima -- World Apostolate of U.S.A. This is a worldwide movement of the faithful, responding to the requests that Our Blessed Mother made to three shepherd children in Fatima, Portugal in 1917, to help save souls and bring peace to the world. It promotes Eucharistic prayer and the Rosary, as well as penance, especially the generous acceptance of the duties of our state in life.

 

Hail Mary Full of Grace This website is devoted to chaplets, rosaries, and litanies.

 

International Pilgrim Virgin Statue of Our Lady of Fatima The world-famous International Pilgrim Virgin Statue of Our Lady of Fatima was sculpted in 1947 by Jose Thedim, based on the description of Sr. Lucia, one of the three young seers who saw Our Lady each month from May to October 1917 in Fatima, Portugal. The Pilgrim Virgin Committee was formed to carry out the mandate set down by the Bishop of Fatima in 1947 and now, after 54 years, Pope John Paul II says that the Message of Fatima is more urgent now than ever. So, the Pilgrim Virgin Committee continues to bring the statue to the world and the demand for visits of the statue remains.

The main purpose of the Legion of Mary is to give glory to God through the sanctification of its members.
