The Sisters who staff Mary Immaculate Queen Center are dedicated to the work of preserving and spreading the traditional Catholic Faith and promoting the Fatima message by means of the press and other media. The Sisters operate their own print shop, mail order house, and religious store.
Through the apostolate of the press, the Sisters provide thousands of customers — both in the United States and abroad — with traditional Catholic religious goods and reading materials. Moreover, Mary Immaculate Queen Center serves as a wholesale outlet for a number of churches and religious book stores. The Sisters themselves print a good portion of the literature listed in the Center’s comprehensive catalog. By their work in the printing apostolate, they assist the Marian priests in the publication of traditional Catholic literature, including the Congregation’s quarterly magazine, The Reign of Mary.
The Sisters who work at the Center are also responsible for much of the work that goes into organizing the annual international Fatima Conference sponsored by the Religious Congregation of Mary Immaculate Queen. A week of lectures and spiritual activities, the Fatima Conference takes place every October at Mount St. Michael and provides an abundant source of inspiration and instruction for traditional Catholics.
The Marian Sisters who work at Mary Immaculate Queen Center are, for the most part, engaged in a hidden apostolate — they may never see many of those whom they touch through their work. Nevertheless, each Sister strives to remember that her Holy Rule would have her to be “Mary’s visible hands at work in the world,” animated and informed by the graces of her Immaculate Heart. Her place in society may be insignificant; she may never be known beyond her convent walls. But by her life of love and oblation, she radiates Something, Someone. She is another Mary — she brings Christ to the world, and the world to Christ.
