Children of Mary ~ Photos

	Mother Margaret Mary presenting the charism for Children of Mary to His Holiness Pope John Paul II on January 3, 2002, and making her consecration to His Excellency Bishop James A. Griffin on January 17, 2002. Seated are Msgr. Frank Lane and Msgr. Paul Enke. Other priests present for the ceremony were Msgr. Ed Trenor, Fr. Benedict Joseph, O.P., Fr. Tim Hayes, and Fr. Don Franks.

John Hardon, SJ, whose vast writings are now being translated and scrutinized in preparation for his cause for canonization, guided Mother Margaret Mary through a 30 day Ignatian retreat and then wrote a letter of recommendation for her to Bishop Griffin.
