marian medalists
The Marian medal is awarded to a parishioner over 55 years of age with dedicated service to the Church. Recipients are nominated for the award by their pastor.
The medals will be blessed and presented during a ceremony of Solemn Daytime Prayer and Benediction of the Blessed Sacrament. Made of sterling silver, the Marian Medal is embossed with a Miraculous Medal on one side and the Fall River Diocesan coat-of-arms on the other.
