The Children of Mary is an organization for young people between the ages of 7 and 18 who wish to consecrate themselves in a special way to Our Blessed Mother.
Founded in 2011 in the Diocese of Alexandria, Louisiana, the program was established to foster extraordinary devotion to the Blessed Mother among the young. It draws from the rich tradition of Marian consecration while presenting it in a way that is accessible and meaningful to modern youth.
Regular updates, meeting guides, prayers, and registration forms were first made available on the Children of Mary website in November of 2011. The program has grown steadily, serving families across Louisiana and beyond who desire to form their children in the love of Our Lady.
