Our Lady of La Salette
The parish identifies deeply with the 1846 apparition at La Salette, France. On September 19, 1846, two shepherd children, Maximin Giraud and Mélanie Calvat, encountered the Blessed Virgin Mary seated, radiant, and weeping, calling all her children to return to her Son through prayer, conversion, and reconciliation. A shrine was built on the holy mountain, drawing pilgrims from every corner of the world. The Missionaries of Our Lady of La Salette, founded in 1852, now serve in more than 25 countries, ministering especially through the Sacraments of Reconciliation and the Eucharist.
