Abstract

All around the United States, shrines to the Virgin Mary — from large suburban complexes to tiny urban lots — attract people from cultures, countries and customs around the world to meet the familiar figure of Mary in a land far from home and to define themselves as both Americans and Catholics. As communities adapt over time, relationships to Mary change as well.

The speakers, Karen Park and Katherine Dugan, are co-editors of American Patroness: Marian Shrines and the Making of US Catholicism (Fordham University Press, 2024).

This presentation was held online and in the Roesch Library Gathering Place on the University of Dayton campus from 3:45 to 4:45 p.m. Tuesday, Feb. 13, 2024.
