All About 'Hail Mary'

Journeys of Hope Life is a journey, and this is your spiritual passport.

Where will the journey take us today? Let's walk together as we learn to become people of faith and hope.

Welcome to Journeys of Hope.

I am Jason Nunez, one of your guides for today's journey, and I serve as media production coordinator for Pilgrim Center of Hope, where today we're recording at St. Joseph's Studio.

And I'm Angela Cialana, communications and media coordinator for Pilgrim Center of Hope, which is a producer of this weekly radio and podcast program.

Thank you for joining us on today's Journey of Hope.

Pilgrim Center of Hope is a nonprofit ministry founded in 1993 with a mission of guiding people to walk in hope, with Christ

and the church.

This means here that we have plenty of experience with the phrase Hail Mary.

And of course, today we are here to shed some light on where it comes from, how it's impacted society and culture, and most importantly, the beauty and significance of this simple phrase that comes from the prayer Catholics known as the Hail Mary.

And joining us is co-founder of Pilgrim Center of Hope, Mary Jane Fox.

Mary Jane, thank you very much for joining us today.

Oh, thank you for inviting me, Jason and Angela.

I'm just looking forward to this journey on this knee prayer called the Hail Mary.

It's going to be a very interesting journey.

Thank you for inviting me.

Yes.

And this program here specifically is titled All About the Hail Mary.

And our listeners are really going to dive into two different aspects of Hail Mary itself overall.

So let's begin like this.
