Congregation of the Children of Mary

The Congregation of the Children of Mary was established in response to Our Lady's command given to St. Catherine Labouré in July of 1830. The Blessed Mother wanted a new confraternity established in the Church that would be linked with the gift of the Miraculous Medal. Pope Pius IX entrusted the work of the Children of Mary to the intercession of St. Philomena, the young virgin-martyr. 

Our Assumption Children of Mary chapter is open to all girls of the parish, ages 5–12 years old. 

The confraternity's goal is fostering an extraordinary devotion to the Mother of God among our young girls by promoting total consecration to Jesus through Mary. The goal of the Congregation of the Children of Mary is to help prepare a new generation of faithful disciples who will respond with undivided hearts to Our Lady's command: "Do whatever He tells you."

We meet monthly and pray together at Holy Mass, and we lead all processions and the May Crowning at the parish. If you would like more information about this group, and are interested in becoming a member, please email our Director of Religious Education.

The confraternity forms a part of the Vincentian family.
