Message From the Director
Dear Members and Friends of Our Lady of Angels Association,
May our loving Mother Mary hold you close in 2026!
As we welcome the New Year, we pause with gratitude for the Blessings we have shared and the Grace that has carried us through the past year. Your prayers, generosity and steadfast devotion continue to strengthen the mission of the Association and extend the loving presence of Our Lady and her Angels to countless people who are remembered in our Novena Masses.
As a prayer association, we have new opportunities in 2026 through our Novena Masses to join in prayer for our loved ones and those living and deceased who are in need of our prayers.
All of us at the Association look forward to praying with you in the months ahead as we are all inspired by the faithfulness of Mary, Queen of Angels. Your participation makes our mission possible.
God bless you abundantly in this New Year and may Mary and the Angels watch over you always.
In Mary Immaculate,
Executive Director
The Blessing of Our Lady of Angels Association’s Shrine
Tuesday, September 16th, was truly a spectacular day here in Western New York. God had given us the best of days to rededicate our Shrine of Our Lady of Angels.
The Shrine was erected on August 26, 1999, at Niagara University on the beautiful lawn surrounded by Our Lady of Angels Library, the Gallagher Gym and the DePaul Hall of Science. For 26 years it stood as a visible witness to Mary’s maternal presence among us.
Thanks to the generosity of many of you, we have been able to refresh our shrine and restore her original brilliance. I believe that this sacred space will continue to draw countless souls into prayer and peace for another quarter of a century.
Our Scripture reading for the blessing recalled the events surrounding the Annunciation, which was Mary’s first encounter with an Angel.
Our Blessing Prayer followed:
“Almighty and eternal God, you have exalted the Blessed Virgin Mary above all creatures and crowned her Queen of Angels. We now ask you to bless this renewed shrine, made radiant once more through the hands of those who love her. May all who come here find solace and strength beneath her mantle. May our prayers ascend on angel’s wings to your throne of mercy. Through Mary’s loving guidance, grant us peace in this world and life everlasting in the world to come.
We then sprinkled Holy Water on the Shrine and those gathered followed by the Litany of Our Lady of Angels.
Thanks to all of you for your generosity and for making this possible.
In Mary Immaculate,
Michael J. Carroll, C.M.
Executive Director
