| On the 18th of July 1830, the Holy Virgin
appeared to Catherine Labouré in the chapel of the Rue du Bac in Paris. The chapel was
part of the convent of the Filles de la Charité.
Catherine Labouré was at that time
preparing herself to become a sister. On the 28th of November, the Holy Virgin entrusted
Catherine with the miraculous medal.
At the time of Catherine's death, two billions
miraculous medals had already been made.
