8 Marian Helper • Fall 2023 • Marian.org Two new statues now grace Eden Hill. At left, located just beyond the statue of our Marian founder, St. Stanislaus Papcyzński, is his eighth successor as superior general, Ven. Servant of God Casimir Wyszynski (1700-1755). We remember him as a Marian missionary who expanded the Order, founding our first monastery in Portugal. At right, a beautiful addition to the Holy Family Shrine is this statue of the Visitation of the Blessed Virgin Mary to her cousin, Elizabeth, with Jesus and John the Baptist in their respective wombs. This was a gift of John Kliska of Simsbury, Connecticut, in honor of his wife Joan and their children: Jennifer, Jeffrey, and Julie. ON EDEN HILL The annual Filipino Day at the National Shrine of The Divine Mercy was held on June 17, the Feast of the Immaculate Heart of Mary. The rainy day did not dampen the spirit and enthusiasm of hundreds of pilgrims who gathered for Mass, Eucharistic Adoration, Rosary, Confession, and the Chaplet of Divine Mercy.
