Mary, Our Blessed Mother

Devotion to Mary, Our Blessed Mother and the Mother of Jesus, began some 2000 years ago and still flourishes today. From our "MARY" Scripture studies to our May Crowning, Most Holy Redeemer parishioners continue to show their reverence for, respect of, and trust in Mary. Here is where you can find Marian devotional materials as well as information about upcoming Marian events at the parish.

Catholics have a long tradition of approaching Mary through a variety of devotions. Perhaps the most popular is the Rosary, the recitation of the Hail Mary 50 times while meditating on the mysteries of the life of Christ. Other prayers seeking the intercession of the Mother of God include the Litany of the Blessed Virgin Mary and the Little Office of the Blessed Virgin Mary. An ancient prayer to Mary is the Angelus, which was recited three times a day to recall the Annunciation and the Incarnation of the Son of God in Mary’s womb.

Many devotions have developed over the centuries in honor of Mary under different titles, often associated with a place or event (Our Lady of Lourdes, Our Lady of Guadalupe) or an aspect of Mary’s role in redemption (Our Lady of Perpetual Help, Our Lady of Sorrows). Devotion to Mary is heightened in the months of May and October, and there are many days in the liturgical year that foster devotion to Mary.
