Sponsored by the International Marian Research Institute (IMRI) at the University of Dayton to promote the study of the Blessed Virgin, the Marian Forum began as a channel for new academic research on Marian themes discussed with leading scholars and a global online audience. It is now an academically minded online gathering focused on the Blessed Virgin Mary, incorporating liturgy and creative campus participation.
Following the first session of the 2021 Marian Forum and preceding the music and art presentation, participants recited the Three O'Clock Prayer. View it here.
