The Miraculous Medal: The Story of Our Lady's Appearances to Saint Catherine Laboure

"Sister, it couldn't have happened! It was all a dream, like the other time," the priest declared. But Sister Catherine was sure she had truly seen Our Lady…and then Our Lady appeared to her again! Would the priest ever believe her? Would he ever have the Medals made as Our Lady had asked? This wonderful story captures what happened when the Blessed Virgin Mary appeared to St. Catherine Laboure and the beginning of the Miraculous Medal. Mary Fabyan Windeatt was known as “the storyteller of the saints.” In the 1950’s and 60’s she wrote over twenty historical fiction novels on the saints, bringing to life these holy men and women for young readers across the world. By artistically rendering familiar stories, the Windeatt books help readers see that the saints are real people whom we can emulate. Ideal for all children, especially those enrolled in TAN Academy in kindergarten through third grades for easy reading literature.
