Thank you to everyone who supported our Paten & Chalice Appeal. Through your generosity, we were able to present the Vincentian priests in the St. Catherine Labouré Infirmary in Philadelphia with a beautiful paten and chalice for use in celebrating the Novenas of Masses offered for the members and friends of the Association.

These sacred vessels now serve as a lasting reminder of the prayers and intentions entrusted to the Vincentian priests, who faithfully remember you and your loved ones in the celebration of the Eucharist.

We are sincerely grateful for your kindness and support. Your generosity has provided a meaningful and enduring gift that will be used for years to come.

On July 4, 2026, our nation will commemorate and celebrate the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence. As we come together to celebrate this historic moment, let us reflect on the sacrifices made by those who ensured us the fundamental freedoms which we often take for granted. These men and women of principle and different backgrounds not only sacrificed for America but for Universal principals in establishing our freedom.

I will be offering a Triduum of Masses for the United States beginning on July 4, 2026. I will be praying for our country, military, first responders and wisdom for our leaders to make ethical decisions in moving our nation forward. May our leaders be guided by wisdom and prayer and may our nation be protected by the intercession of Mary Immaculate, Patroness of our Country.

Our Lady of Angels Association will remember you and your special intentions in the Triduum of Masses being said for our nation beginning on July 4th. With your donation of any amount, we would like to gift you with a 4×6 Mary Immaculate Patroness of Our Country Pray for Us prayer card. Your support assists us with our charitable works and spreading devotion to our Blessed Mother.

May God bless you, your loved ones, and our nation with His peace and love.

Rev. Michael J. Carroll, C.M.
Executive Director

Fr. O’Brien served as Executive Director of Our Lady of Angels Association at Niagara University from 1992 until 2021.
He devoted his life to the Church, the Vincentian Community and the Blessed Mother with unwavering devotion.
