Miraculous Medal Novena to Be Prayed Every Monday Before the 12:10 p.m. Mass in the Church Starting on Aug. 12, 2024

Deepen your faith by praying the Miraculous Medal Novena, a beautiful devotional prayer, every Monday at noon, after praying the Angelus, before the start of the 12:10 p.m. Mass, starting on Monday, August 12, 2024. Miraculous Medal Novena booklets will be available in the church, so be sure to grab one before noon on Monday. Miraculous Medals will also be available in the back of church.

In 1830, during the apparitions in the chapel on Rue du Bac in Paris, the Holy Virgin presented the Miraculous Medal to Saint Catherine Labouré, saying: “Those who wear it, blessed, around their neck will receive great graces. The graces will be abundant for those who wear it with confidence.”

Subsequently, the many conversions, cures and cases of extraordinary protection, quickly lead to its being called the “Miraculous Medal.”

Wearing and disseminating the Miraculous Medal means placing oneself under the protection of the Most Holy Virgin. It means placing oneself under the sign of the Blessed Virgin Mary and taking a stand in face of the troubles and sins affecting the modern world.

“The whole world will be overwhelmed by misfortunes of all kinds… All will seem lost, but I shall be with you,” the Holy Virgin promised Saint Catherine, who repeated this prophecy till the end of her life.  The rays coming from Our Lady’s hands symbolize the graces she obtains for everyone who prays to her with confidence.
