In March of 1915, Father Joseph Skelly, C.M. established the Central Association of the Miraculous Medal. The purpose of The Central Association was to propagate and increase devotion to Mary Immaculate by encouraging devotion to Mary under her title of Our Lady of the Miraculous Medal. Today, The Central Association of the Miraculous Medal has four purposes: To render honor to Mary Immaculate and to encourage the use of her Miraculous Medal with prayers and devotions to her under the title of Our Lady of the Miraculous Medal. To support the education and formation of men for the priesthood and brotherhood in the seminaries of the Congregation of the Mission. To support the aged and infirm Vincentians of the Eastern Province of the Congregation, the parent body of The Central Association of the Miraculous Medal. To support the apostolic works of the Eastern Province on behalf of the poor. From the Web site.
