The Army of Mary’s ninth pilgrimage in the spring of 1982 led more than seven hundred Knights of Mary from Canada and the United States to France and Italy. It was to take place under the sign of the Miraculous Medal.

of the Sons and
Daughters of Mary

In Paris, over a thousand visited the Basilica of the Sacred Heart of Montmartre where the Blessed Sacrament is permanently exposed. The pilgrims then went to the Chapel of the Miraculous Medal where Mary’s apparitions to Saint Catherine Labouré in 1830 are recalled.

Then, it was on to the Lyons train station to board a special train for Lisieux where a solemn ceremony of the Family of the Sons and Daughters of Mary was held on May 24. During this ceremony, more than one hundred and sixty Auxiliary Members received the blue mantle, while seven persons received the religious habit of the Community of the Sons and Daughters of Mary.

In Italy once again, the pilgrims visited the Grotto of Our Lady of Revelation at Three-Fountains, as well as Nettuno, homeland of Saint Maria Goretti, before beginning a triduum of prayer in the Eternal City.
