Conception, live on Facebook at the Marion Helpers page, Instagram at the Divine Mercy,

Together, let's consecrate our lives to the Holy Spirit through the love and support of our Lady the Immaculate Conception. Order my book, Shining and Spotless Splendor,

consecration to the Immaculate Conception, in print, or as an e-book at shopmercy.org.
