Our Lady of America

If the U.S. Bishops honor Our Lady's requests and place her statue in the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception she promises "greater miracles than those at Lourdes and Fatima would be granted to the U.S.  She promised it would be a safeguard for our country and a statue in the home would be a safeguard for the family."

On September 26,1956, Our Lady appeared to Sister Mary Ephrem (Mildred Neuzil.  Sister was born in Brooklyn, N.Y. on August 2, 1916.  In 1929 she entered the Sisters of the Precious Blood at Rome City, Indiana.  In 1959 she became a Contemplative of the Indwelling Trinity in Fostoria, Ohio.  In 1838, she began to have mystical experiences.  Our Lady of America revealed her title, her image and her messages to Sister until her death in her convent on January 10, 200, at the age of 83.

Her spiritual Director was Bishop Paul F. Leibold.  He later became the Archbishop of Cincinnati, Ohio. On January 25, 1963, he approved and gave his imprimatur to the revelations from the Blessed Virgin under the title of Our Lady of America.

Archbishop Raymond L. Burke, world renowned canon lawyer, now Cardinal burke, stated that the devotion to Our lady of America was canonically approved.

In 1959 the Basilica of the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception was dedicated in Washington D.C. and the Bishops of the United States consecrated the country to the Immaculate Conception.

On November 11, 2006, a new statue of Our Lady of America was publicly displayed for the first time at the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops in their concelebrated Mass Room in Baltimore, MD.

Archbishop Raymond Burke requested the display of this statue at the conference for the benefit of the Bishops. On November15, 2006, Archbishop Burke blessed this statue.  This blessing occurred precisely on the 50 anniversary of the request that Our lady of America made on November 15, 1956 which was when she had asked to be placed and honored in the National Shrine.

Let us pray that the U.S. Bishops honor Our Lady's requests and enthrone her in our National Shrine from where she can dispense her blessings to the millions of people who would stream by her during the months, and, offer their prayers and love because they are reminded to do so by seeing her statue there.
