The Feast of the Immaculate Conception, quite naturally, brought a larger number than usual to Mass this afternoon at St. John the Evangelist, my home parish. No photos from there, but it gives me a chance to use another photo from my summer trip to the National Shrine of Our Lady of the Miraculous Medal in nearby Perryville, Mo. The shrine features a ring of statues of Mary from all around the world.
This is Our Lady of Fatima.
Blessed Virgin Mary, pray for us.
