SAINT CATHERINE LAB0URÉ

(1806 – 1876)

Patron Saint of the

Miraculous Medal

Feast Day – November 28th

St. Catherine Laboure, virgin, was born

on May 2, 1806. At an early age, she

entered the community of the

Daughters of Charity, in Paris, France.

Three times in 1830 the Virgin Mary

appeared to St. Catherine Laboure,

who then was a twenty-four-year-old

novice.

On July 18, the first apparition occurred in the community's

motherhouse. St. Catherine beheld a lady seated on the right

side of the sanctuary. When St. Catherine approached her, the

heavenly visitor told her how to act in time of trial and pointed

to the altar as the source of all consolation. Promising to

entrust St. Catherine with a mission which would cause her

great suffering, the lady also predicted the anticlerical revolt

which occurred at Paris in 1870.

On November 27, the lady showed St. Catherine the medal of

the Immaculate Conception, now universally known as the

"Miraculous Medal." She commissioned St. Catherine to have

one made, and to spread devotion to this medal. At that time,

only her spiritual director, Father Aladel, knew of the

apparitions. Forty-five years later, St. Catherine spoke fully of

the apparitions to one of her superiors. She died on December

31, 1876, and was canonized on July 27, 1947. Her feast day is

November 28. When her body was exhumed in 1933 it was

found as fresh as the day it was buried.
