In order to thank Divine Providence for all the countless graces that we have received here in the greater St Louis area since the Institute was invited to St Francis de Sales Oratory 20 years ago, the Oratory made a pilgrimage to the National Shrine of the Miraculous Medal in Perryville, Missouri.
Over 200 faithful packed the church for the Mass of thanksgiving, and then prayed the Rosary on the Rosary walk on the peaceful hilly grounds.
This shrine, established almost a century ago, is a location of pilgrimage for many souls with a devotion to the Miraculous Medal. Situated next to the former Vincentian seminary, the grounds help raise the hearts and minds of pilgrims to God.
