EVERYTHING CHANGED IN 2024, AND WE SHOULD BE HOPEFUL
2024 will be marked as the start of a historical change in America. This will be known as the year America started to wake up from its slumber (or perhaps stupor).
As we begin wrapping up this year and heading into the holiday season, we are again in wonder at all God has done here at the Our Lady, Patroness of America Center. We wanted to share a highlight reel with all of you who have done so much to help us live and spread this devotion further than we could ever hope to or accomplish on our own.

At Our Lady, Patroness of America Center in Rome City, we were blessed to be in the wake of the Congress. We increased our weekly hours to become a rest stop for pilgrims traveling through on their way to and from Indy. It became a busy and exciting
