Immaculate Conception Prayer Program

The Immaculate Conception Prayer Program

The Immaculate Conception Prayer Program began August 7
at the 131st Supreme Convention
in San Antonio, Texas.
This program features an image of Mary as the Immaculate Conception,
which is a copy of the original painting that is
housed in the Cathedral Basilica Notre-Dame de Quebec in Canada.
The church and the Archdiocese of Quebec are celebrating their 350th anniversary in 2014.

The Immaculate Conception Prayer Program is the 16th Marian Prayer Program sponsored by
the Knights of Columbus, beginning with the first program – honoring Mary under her title of
Our Lady of Guadalupe - in 1979.
In preparation for the 1982 Centennial of the Order,
the second prayer program was initiated,
which also highlighted the Immaculate Conception.
Since then, the Blessed Mother has been honored by her Knights under her titles of
Our Lady of Perpetual Help,
Our Lady of Czestochowa,
Our Lady of Pochaiv,
Our Lady of the Assumption,
Our Lady of the Rosary and
Our Lady of Charity.

These Order wide programs of Marian Prayer have gathered together more than 16 million
people at some 140,000 prayer services conducted at local councils and parishes.
