Marian missions are initiated at the parish level a formal invitation from the local pastor. On the first day of the mission, parishioners will be divided into groups and each group will receive a statue of Our Lady.
Beginning at the parish church, these groups will go out carrying the statue and walk the streets of the parish, going door to door, and offering an opportunity for the statue to visit homes, schools and businesses and to pray with those present. During this activity individuals are invited to participate into more activities and the closing at the end of the mission at church.
