A member of the Legion of Mary will deliver and pick-up the Our Lady of Grace statue to and from your home with prayer booklets, rosaries and symbols of our faith. This is a wonderful way to thank our Mother Mary for her intercession and all the blessings bestowed on you and your family.

Email: thepilgrimvirgin@gmail.com "Thank you for letting us have Mother Mary statue at our place. What a great feeling we shared with our family! Having Mother In our midst was so peaceful and serene. I was really amazed by my kids. My son who is 11 was so into (really surprised me) praying. We invited friends and family to do the rosary on Sunday. A friend of mine was thrilled when I invited her when she said it was her first prayer meet gathering other than going to church and she loved it. We did the rosary everyday and at the last day we literally went to tears reading the farewell prayer. We cannot wait to have Mother Mary again at our home. Thanks again for this opportunity!!" - Paul and Merlyn Rayen
