A House of Saints

Our Lady of Mount Carmel is primarily known as the patroness of the Carmelite Order and for her association with the brown scapular. The Carmelites, a religious order, developed a special devotion to her, seeing her as their spiritual mother and patroness. The brown scapular, a devotional garment, is a symbol of her protection and is a central part of Carmelite spirituality.

Our Lady of Lourdes is known for the Marian apparitions that Saint Bernadette Soubirous witnessed in Lourdes, France, in 1858. These apparitions, where the Virgin Mary identified herself as the Immaculate Conception, led to the site becoming a major pilgrimage destination, renowned for its healing waters and the belief in miraculous cures.

Saint Our Lady of Guadalupe is the patron saint of Mexico, the Americas, and the unborn. She is also a symbol of love and strength for Latin Americans and believers across the world. Her image, imprinted on St. Juan Diego's tilma, is a powerful symbol of Mexican identity and is revered in Mexican culture as a source of hope and resilience.
