About the author
The Association of the Miraculous Medal is a Catholic ministry with roots in Perryville, Missouri, where it was established in 1918 by Vincentian priests and brothers of the Congregation of the Mission. Its purpose is to encourage devotion to Mary under the title of Our Lady of the Miraculous Medal and, through that devotion, to draw people closer to Jesus Christ.
Its wider history reaches back earlier: the Church recognized Miraculous Medal associations in the early 20th century, and the movement has continued to grow internationally. The association describes itself as part of a worldwide community of laypeople, clergy, and members of religious life who seek to live out a Christian and apostolic life while honoring the Miraculous Medal.
Today, the Association of the Miraculous Medal presents its work as a blend of prayer, catechesis, and support for Vincentian charitable and missionary efforts. Rather than a single author in the usual sense, it is best understood as a long-standing religious organization whose "voice" comes from its mission, history, and service.
