The Mary Page [Mary photo, masthead]

Welcome to the Mary Page, maintained by The Marian Library/International Marian Research Institute at the University of Dayton in Ohio. We are an international center of research and study on the role of Mary in Christian life.

The Marianists founded the University of Dayton in 1850. Since 1943 it has been a home to the Marian Library, which holds the world's largest collection of printed information on Mary, the Blessed Virgin. It has developed into a center which engages in many activities.

Our goal is to present information about the Mother of Jesus and to lead people to a loving knowledge of her who is the first and most holy of the faithful. We call her Our Lady, Madonna, Notre Dame, Domina. Learning more about Mary, we develop a fuller knowledge of Christ who is the fulfillment of human existence.

Would you like to know more about Mary? We offer weekly updated News and would like to share our various kinds of resources with you. We are happy to entertain your questions. Mary's example inspires daily reflection and prayerful pondering. Would you like to pause for a moment of prayer and meditation?
