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.

ESBVM USA project underway

Posted by esbvmusa on September 13th, 2009

ESBVM USA is working on the development of a model for an “Ecumenical Day with Mary.” For two years, in the Fall of 2007 and 2008, members of the ESBVM conducted a “Mary Day” at the First Congregational Church, UCC, of Walton, with the thought in mind of developing an ESBVM prototype for such a program for other churches. Recently, parish members of the Walton Congregational Church who had taken part in the “Mary Day” programs joined a panel with ESBVM members to discuss the viability of developing a model for use in other churches. An audio recording was made of the panel discussion which is accessed directly by clicking on the following link:
