Father Joe Roesch, MIC, the Marians' vicar general, talks about Our Lady's call for a simple prayer — the Rosary. Pray it daily, says Fr. Joe, and thereby "unite with Our Lady in her plan for peace for the world."

This year, 2022, the Marians of the Immaculate Conception are celebrating our 25-year anniversary in Steubenville, Ohio! From humble beginnings. In August 1997, Father Joe Roesch, then Brothers Donald Calloway and John Larson, and postulant Pat Norris were truly pioneers as they were the first members of the Marians of the Immaculate Conception to open a Marian house in Steubenville, Ohio. Father Joe is now the Vicar General of the Marian Congregation and lives in Rome, Italy.

The Fatima visionaries were given a vision of hell that made a tremendous impression upon them.Father Joe says it is a powerful reminder of the reality of hell, and that we can help God to save souls and be with Him in Heaven through prayer and sacrifices.
