info_outlineThis week’s spiritual pilgrimage takes us to 140 Rue du Bac, in the heart of Paris, France. Join Mary Jane Fox, as she takes us on a new journey to the Chapel of Our Lady of the Miraculous Medal! In this very chapel, the Virgin Mary appeared to St. Catherine Laboure in 1830 and instructed Catherine to have a medal struck after the model image that was presented to her. It was called the Medal of our Lady of the Immaculate Conception in the beginning. However, as medals were distributed and worn by Christians; many conversions and even miracles occurred! For these reasons, the Medal came to be called the Miraculous Medal.
During our journey, you will hear about:
- Mary’s apparition in Paris and to whom she appeared
- The incorrupt body of St. Catherine Laboure
- How people have experienced miracles and graces related to the Miraculous Medal
- … much more!
For a complimentary Miraculous Medal along with a pamphlet explaining its significance, call us at 210-521-3377.
