Militia of the Immaculata


"The Militia of the Immaculata (MI) is a worldwide evangelization movement founded by St. Maximilian Kolbe in 1917 that encourages total consecration to the Blessed Virgin Mary as a means of spiritual renewal for individuals and society. The MI movement is open to all Catholics over 7 years old. It employs prayer as the main tool in the spiritual battle with evil. Members of the MI also immerse themselves in apostolic initiatives throughout society, either individually or in groups, to deepen the knowledge of the Gospel and our Catholic Faith and to spread devotion to the Blessed Virgin Mary."

~From the official website of the Militia of the Immaculata~


Mary, Mother of God Parish has a chapter of the Militia of the Immaculata that meets for prayer and putting their consecration to Mary into action. Meetings begin with renewing the consecration prayer, followed by a decade of the Rosary. There is also a reading and discussion from the writings of St. Maximilian Kolbe.

The group also makes trips to sites related to Mary and St. Maximilian, such as to Marytown (the National Shrine of St. Maximilian Kolbe in Libertyville, Illinois).

If you are interested in becoming a member of the MI, please send an email to Staci, the group's secretary, or to Deacon Bede Thigpen.
