Chapel of Our Lady of the Miraculous Medal, located in uptown.

The Medal of the Immaculate Conception, popularly known as the Miraculous Medal, is unique among all medals. It was, according to belief, designed by the Blessed Virgin Mary herself. No wonder, they say, that it wins such extraordinary graces for those who wear it and pray for Mary's intercession and help.

It is siad that the chapel in which Our Lady of the Miraculous Medal appeared to St. Catherine Labouré was Paris, France. Saint Catherine Laboure responded to the divine call by entering the Community of the Daughters of Charity of St. Vincent de Paul in Paris. Here, during the first months of her novitiate, she claimed to have been favored with a number of apparitions of the Blessed Virgin, who confided to her the mission of having the Miraculous Medal made.
