Bl. George Matulaitis

Blessed George, preparing the way for Divine Mercy

On Jan. 27, we celebrate the feast of Blessed George Matulaitis, the priest who saved our Marian Congregation from extinction in 1909 when only one Marian remained.

Blessed George Matulaitis (1871-1927) was the "Renovator" of the Marian Fathers of the Immaculate Conception, who envisioned religious working together with the laity for the good of the Church. We celebrate his feast day on Jan. 27. Learn more about this extraordinary priest and bishop and watch a short video, and join in the prayers for his canonization.
