The Corona of the Immaculate Conception is a chaplet composed by one of North America\'s great explorers: Father Jacques Marquette. It comes down to us from Marquette\'s Jesuit superior, who wrote as follows in his account of the explorer\'s death:

“Some months before his death, he said every day with his two men a little Corona of the Immaculate Conception which he had devised as follows: After the Credo, there is said once the Pater and Ave, and then 4 times these words: Ave filia Dei patris, ave mater filii Dei, ave sponsa Spiritus Sancti, ave templum totius Trinitatis: per sanctam virginitatem et immaculatam conceptionem tuam, purissima Virgo, emunda cor et carnem meam: in nomine Patris, et Filii, et Spiritus Sancti, — concluding with the Gloria Patri, the whole repeated three times.\"

Give glory to Our Lady in her role as patroness of the United States with this unique sacramental of the American Catholic Church. Features nylon cord, plastic beads, and enameled base metal crucifix.

Note that the Corona differs from the more common Chaplet of the Immaculate Conception written by St. John Berchmanns, although both chaplets have the same number and arrangement of beads.
