The Ecumenical Society of the Blessed Virgin Mary


  • The Ecumenical Society of the Blessed Virgin Mary (ESBVM) exists to advance the study at various levels of the place of the Blessed Virgin Mary in the Church, under Christ and of related theological questions; and in the light of such study to promote ecumenical devotion. Its aim is to show that, in the Blessed Virgin Mary, Christians of many traditions may find a focus in their search for unity.
    Prayer for the Society God our Father, through the Blessed Virgin Mary you gave your Son to be our Redeemer; send your blessing on the Ecumenical Society of the Blessed Virgin Mary; so that strengthened by your grace, enlivended by by your Spirit, and renewed in the One whom Mary bore, your Church may grow in the unity You desire. We ask this through Jesus Christ your Son, our Lord.

Apology — Mr Bernard Woods

Posted by esbvm on August 19th, 2009

Our sincere apologies to Mr Bernard V. A. Woods of Co Dublin, Republic of Ireland and current Chairman of the Dublin Branch for the erroneous report of his demise in the August ESBVM Newsletter which seems to have arisen as a confusion of information.

The report is premature as he is still happily with us. His dear wife Anita’s death had been recorded earlier by the Society RIP. We deeply regret any distress caused to friends in this misreporting. Our only hope is that Bernard will see himself ranked now with the famous Mark Twain who said ‘The reports of my death are greatly exaggerated.’
