November 28: Saint Catherine Labouré

St. Catherine Labouré

History

The Blessed Mother appeared to Sister Catherine Labouré in 1830. The first time, Sister Catherine was told that she would be given a mission. The second time, Saint Mary showed her the Miraculous Medal, and asked her to have it made. Sister Catherine only revealed this to the priest who was her spiritual director, then she went back to her humble life in the convent. After the priest and the bishop had the medals made, the Miraculous Medal became one of the most popular devotions in the Church. But Sister Catherine was so humble, even most of her own sisters had no idea that she had received the visions until after she died.

Activity
