Why Join?
Members of Mary’s Travelers promote devotion to the Mother of God as a way to encourage careful and prayerful journeys. Members strive to make the ordinary, routine activity of travel - physical or spiritual - an act of love for God.
In the tradition of St. Francis de Sales, travelers make their journeys “holy” by doing it in a spirit of love, always being mindful of others.
Mary the Traveler
Mary, our Blessed Mother, was always a traveler. She traveled to visit Elizabeth, to Bethlehem to give birth to her son, to Egypt to protect her family, to Calvary, and finally to heaven.
Some of Mary’s travels were planned and safe, others were more dangerous. Mary understands and protects her followers through all of life’s journeys.
How Mary’s Travelers Began…
After a tragic automobile accident on Interstate 95 in the late 1960s, the Oblates of St. Francis de Sales erected a shrine named Our Lady of the Highways.
Thus began a spiritual movement that asks Mary, the Mother of Jesus, to intercede and protect travelers all over the country. This became known as Mary’s Travelers and is a way the Oblates and their supporters have helped people on the road of life for more than 50 years.
