Miraculous Medal Bracelet-Making Event

St. Louis, Missouri

St. Catherine Laboure Parish was begun in 1953, when Archbishop Joseph Ritter asked the Congregation of the Mission to start a new parish serving South County's growing suburban Catholic population, and the Vincentian priests and brothers have staffed it ever since. Its patroness, St. Catherine Laboure, was a Daughter of Charity whose apparitions of the Blessed Mother led to the Miraculous Medal. Today the parish is a community of more than 2,000 households; the cornerstone of the current 700-seat church was laid in 1975, and the parish has one of the largest K-8 schools in the archdiocese along with a large Parish School of Religion.
