May Procession Draws 728 people to the National Shrine of Our Lady of the Miraculous Medal

On Sunday, May 7, visitors from around the United States came to Perryville, Missouri, to honor Our Blessed Mother during the annual May Procession. Click here for images from this year’s May Procession. 

Spiritual Director, Father Kevin McCracken, C.M., led the pilgrims in a prayerful procession. Those who gathered processed to Mary’s grotto while praying the Rosary. There, thousands of petitions received from Association members were placed before her in prayerful remembrance. A floral wreath was presented to Our Lady, and a floral crown was placed upon her head. 

Following the procession, members’ petitions were placed near Our Lady’s Shrine Altar where they will be remembered in the daily Mass and prayers throughout the month of May. To add your own intentions, click here.
