We are a group of women, consecrated to Mary, who come together once a month in honor of – and in service to-- The Immaculate Conception.

Our mission is twofold:

To deepen in ourselves, and promote to others
a true and active devotion to Mary

-- AND --

To invoke her intercession through devout prayer

We lovingly and joyfully strive to achieve this through the following activities:

• We wear our blessed Miraculous Medals in solidarity and devotion to Mary. (We also wear our medals on all of Our Lady's special Feast days)
• Sing hymns in her honor
• Say the prayer to the Immaculate Conception, followed by the Immaculate Conception Novena for various intentions, and the Litany of the Blessed Virgin Mary
• Read from a Marian book, so that we may learn how to emulate her more perfectly
• Hear an enlightening commentary from Abouna regarding the reading
• Recite the Rosary
• Hold a round table discussion regarding Sorority business and upcoming events
• We choose a paragraph, after discussing our reading, to be put in the Church's monthly newsletter

Through out the year :

We celebrate certain Feast Days of Our Lady in a special way, and on those days we act as “greeters” and/or ushers at the Divine Liturgy and occasionally host a reception afterwards. Feast Days are as follows:

• February 11 th – Our Lady of Lourdes
• First Sunday of May – Our Lady of Lebanon
• August 15 th – The Assumption of the Virgin Mary
• September 8 th —Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary
• First Sunday of October – Feast of the Most Holy Rosary
• Fourth Sunday of November – The Announcement to the Virgin Mary
• December 8 th – The Immaculate Conception
• December 12 th – Our Lady of Guadalupe
• December 26 th – Felicitations to the Virgin Mary

Through out the year we also :

• Lead processions to our “Mariam, Mother of Life” Shrine, carrying our Sorority Banner which bears the image of Mary, The Immaculate Conception.
• Do acts of charity as the need arises and the Holy Spirit directs

Once a year :

• On the third Friday during Lent we commit to attending as a group, the Benediction of the Holy Cross
• For our annual Marian and Lebanese Food Festival we carry our banner in the procession during the opening ceremony of The Crowning of Mary, and we host a booth
• In October we take turns praying the rosary in Church for the “Month of the Rosary”
• November 29 th through December 7 th we privately, but in solidarity, pray the Immaculate Conception Novena

Evey two years:

A new President and Secretary are voted into office and their installation ceremony takes place on the Feast Day of the Immaculate Conception.
