The Marian Foundation
The Marian Foundation, a non-profit organization, is comprised solely of volunteers who believe that the re-telling of these miraculous events increases devotion to the Son through the Immaculate Heart of His Mother, who loves us so much that she weeps her precious tears for her children. The Foundation is dedicated to the preservation and publication of the wondrous events which occurred at St. Elizabeth Ann Seton Catholic Church, Lake Ridge, Virginia and in neighboring parishes from 1991-1993.
We publish THE SETON MIRACLES, Weeping Statues and Other Wonders, by James L. Carney, which recounts the miraculous phenomena as they unfolded. In addition, the book contains many beautiful full color images of the weeping statues; a discussion of other famous statue weeping episodes and a detailed rebuttal to skeptical challengers. The Foundation also recently produced a DVD of Eyewitness Testimony which allows viewers to hear directly from eyewitnesses to the miraculous events. In addition, beautiful notecards with images of the weeping Madonnas are available. On the back of each card is a detailed summary of the events. The cards are available in both English and Spanish.

ABOUT
Prayer of Saint Pope John Paul II to Madonna of Tears
O Lady of Tears,
look with motherly goodness
on the sorrow of the world!
Dry the tears of the suffering,
of the forgotten, of the desperate
and of the victims of every violence.
Make everyone weep tears of repentance
and of new life,
which will open their hearts
to the regenerating gift
of God's love.
Make them weep tears of joy
for having seen
the profound tenderness
of your heart.
Amen.
Pope John Paul II at the dedication of the Shrine of Our Lady of Tears
Syracuse, Sicily, 1994
The Marian Foundation logo
The logo portrays the Immaculate Heart of Mary at the foot of the Cross,
where her heart will always be. It is overlaid with a tear, representing her particular manifestation at Saint Elizabeth Ann Seton Catholic Church, and lies beneath the figure of a dove, the traditional symbol of the Holy Spirit, raising a wing of flame for the Divine Love which encompasses all.
