Marian Library

Congratulations to our colleagues Bridget Retzloff and Stephanie Shreffler on a fantastic article! It is a great read leading up to July 4th and 250th anniversary celebrations.

Why Mary, as the Immaculate Conception, became the patron saint of the US in the 1840s Mary, as the Immaculate Conception, became patroness of the United States before the Vatican officially defined that belief as dogma.

"Blessed are you, O Virgin Mary, who believed that what was spoken to you by the Lord would be fulfilled," according to Luke 1:45. These artworks depicting the Visitation are by Margaret Werlinger, Gracie Morbitzer and Sadeo Watanabe (1913-1996), and part of our Art and Artifacts Collection.

Do you remember the gift of Benjamin Miller prints we mentioned back in March? Allen W. Bernard gave us a wonderful statue as well. Nicole will tell you all about it. https://udayton.co/lBe
