Association of the Miraculous Medal
Rooted in the story of the Virgin Mary's 1830 apparition to St. Catherine Labouré, this Catholic apostolate has spent more than a century encouraging devotion, prayer, and service. Its work is closely tied to the Vincentian tradition and to sharing the message of the Miraculous Medal around the world.

About the author
Founded in 1909, the Association of the Miraculous Medal is a Catholic ministry based at the National Shrine of Our Lady of the Miraculous Medal in Philadelphia. Its mission centers on spreading devotion to the Miraculous Medal and supporting members through prayer, spiritual resources, and works of charity.
The association traces its inspiration to the 1830 apparitions received by St. Catherine Labouré in Paris, where she said the Virgin Mary asked that a medal be made and shared widely. Over time, the organization became one of the better-known ministries connected with the Vincentian family, reflecting the spirit of St. Vincent de Paul in its emphasis on faith expressed through compassion and practical care for others.
Today, the association presents itself as a worldwide community of members and supporters. Along with promoting Marian devotion, it highlights prayer enrollments, outreach to people in need, and the continuing meaning of the Miraculous Medal for everyday Catholic life.
