The Marian Library blog began in 2015 as a medium for communicating about events, research, and materials in the Marian Library. It also shares Marian prayers and devotions and Marian news from around the world. This archive also contains news from the International Marian Research Institute from before its 2021 transition to the Department of Religious Studies in the University of Dayton College of Arts and Sciences.
New blog entries are added to the archive periodically. To read the most recent Marian Library news, see the live blog.
