• Love and Devotion: Students at St. Josaphat Parish School, Milwaukee, surround the Our Lady of Good Success statue.

      The statue was given to Principal Karin Strasser during her journey learning about and ultimately sharing the devotion.

      The Blessed Mother has worked in Karin Strasser’s life all along, even before she realized it.

      In the early 1990s, Strasser traveled to the Working Boys Center, now known as the Center for Working Families, in Quito, Ecuador, during Easter break with a group of school principals who were Catholic.

      Two decades later, the memories would come back to her in a big way when she realized she had a connection to the devotion to Our Lady of Good Success, which originated in Quito.

      She eventually began providing free devotional boxes to those who asked and has continued to do so.

      Perhaps in one way, Strasser’s journey with the devotion began with the visit to Quito.
