The Basilica of Our Lady of Victory has quite the historical and spiritual connection to the revelation of the Miraculous Medal given to St. Catherine Laboure. Father Joe Roesch, MIC, shares with us this special connection just outside the Basilica of  Our Lady of Victory in Paris.

On Nov. 2 of each year, The Catholic Church observes the Commemoration of All the Faithful Departed, otherwise better known as All Souls' Day. It is on this day that we honor those who have passed on from this life, as we pray that they may be purified before entering into the Kingdom of Heaven! So today, be sure to offer up your prayers for your own departed loved ones, as well as the souls suffering in Purgatory!

Fr. Anthony Gramlich, MIC, explains the 5 forms of prayer from the Catechism of the Catholic Church.
