At Chapelle Notre Dame de la Medaille Miraculeuse in 1830, Saint Catherine Labouré saw three visions of the Virgin Mary, mother of Jesus. In one of those visions, Mary asked St. Catherine to create a medal with the following invocation: "O Mary, conceived without sin, pray for us who have recourse to thee." The faithful believe the medal, known as the Miraculous Medal, can protect them from harm and perform miracles. The chapel now serves as a shrine for pilgrims. Here you will find the graves of St. Catherine and St. Vincent de Paul, founder of the Sisters of Charity, who operate the shrine.

  • Notwithstanding your religious views, this is a great place to visit. We caught the last bit if a mass here and then wandered around and it just felt special. A must visit!

  • This little out-of-the-way chapel receives many pilgrims because of the supposed miracle that occurred here. I came to see the architecture which was pleasant enough.

  • It is a place so special that the divinity and deep faith are palpable so that it gets filled to capacity all the time. It is one where you clearly see people with tremendous faith and devotion to the blessed mother of God come to pray or attend a mass to ask for a favor or simply enjoy the architecture or music as they have a beautiful chorus, a particular young lady with angelic voice, and employees who love and serve in the Chapelle, whose devotion veneration and love are also palpable. While in France, please pay a special visit at minimum you can enjoy the story that dates back or even if you are not of the faith with luck, grace, or a special blessing you may or will become a faithful life long devotee!
  • A lot of praying people, many attendees of the every weekday Holy Mass at 10.30. A place of pray and silence. Definately worth of spending some time there!
