Immaculate Conception: Patroness of the USA

Did you know that Our Lady, under the title of the Immaculate Conception, has a deep connection to the discovery of America and the founding of the United States? Father Chris Alar, MIC, traces the Marian roots that ultimately led to the declaration of Mary as patroness of our country. Then hear Fr. Thaddaeus Lancton, MIC, as he discusses a fascinating topic with Fr. Rendell Torres of the Diocese of Albany, New York: how the Immaculate Conception relates to contraception.

Chris Alar, MIC, and the Marian Fathers and Brothers from the National Shrine of The Divine Mercy on our weekly show, "Living Divine Mercy," airing on EWTN every Wednesday at 6:30 pm ET, with an encore presentation on Mondays at 9:00 am ET.  Through teaching segments, Bible and St. Faustina Diary excerpts, as well as real-life examples of people who are living Divine Mercy in their lives, you will learn why Jesus said Divine Mercy is mankind's last hope of salvation!
