    There is no wait time to enter the Chapel. It is open to all but we are encouraged to dress moderately while we visit. At the reception you would be given a pamphlet that tells you all about the chapel’s origin, founder, architectural design and the message of faith, hope and love in different language— It has a souvenir shop where you can spend as little as 25 cents for leaflets. The souvenir shop also has the miraculous medals designed in different ways. There are rosaries, Novena prayer leaflets and books available in different languages. Also if you visit in the evening when there's no mass going on, you may join the sisters in their vespers. It gives such a happy feeling. Above all, the chapel is accessible with platforms for persons who might have reduced mobility.

    I was raised a Roman Catholic and consecrated to the Blessed Virgin Mary at my First Holy Communion. I bear one of Her titles “Concepción” as did my Mother and Grandmother. (RIP🌹). I wear THE Miraculous Medal. My trip to Paris was a pilgrimage to the city dedicated to the Virgin. Run by the Daughters of Charity, it is a quiet respite from the busy streets. Attended morning Mass.

    Beautiful church with historical significance. One can feel the unique atmosphere when In the church. My intention of coming here was to view the incorruptible body of St Catherine. It's a divine feeling, hard to describe or put into words. There is also a shop attached to the church which sells rosaries, medals , prayer books amongst others.

    It is a place so special that the divinity and deep faith are palpable so that it gets filled to capacity all the time. It is one where you clearly see people with tremendous faith and devotion to the blessed mother of God come to pray or attend a mass to ask for a favor or simply enjoy the architecture or music as they have a beautiful chorus, a particular young lady with angelic voice, and employees who love and serve in the Chapelle, whose devotion veneration and love are also palpable. While in France, please pay a special visit at minimum you can enjoy the story that dates back or even if you are not of the faith with luck, grace, or a special blessing you may or will become a faithful life long devotee!

    A lot of praying people, many attendees of the every weekday Holy Mass at 10.30. A place of pray and silence. Definately worth of spending some time there!

    For me, knowing the story of the Miraculous Medal since I was a child, it is mandatory to visit this place. Located in the heart of Paris while walking around, you can pass by.

    Beautiful chapel near the department store Bon Marché. The gate is not large and one can easily missed it. But once stepped inside, the alley opens up and is wonderfully decorated. The chapel holds regular services which are attended by faithfuls in the neighborhood. It’s a wonderful sanctuary to step in to pray and worship in a busy neighborhood.

    Most people know this little oasis of peace as Rue du Bac. Other than St. Catherine Laboure famously known for receiving vision for the Miraculous Medal, there are two other Saints here, the relic of St Vincent de Paul and the co founder St. Louise de Marillac. A prayerful place which many pious locals and visitors come to pray and participate in Mass.

    Beautiful chapel in the heart of Paris, but feels like a spiritual and peaceful oasis from the hustle and bustle of the city. Here are housed the remains of two saints, St Vincent de Paul and St Catherine Laboure. Masses and adoration are scheduled throughout the day. You can purchase religious souvenirs from their gift shop, including miraculous medals. Washrooms are available on site. This place does get busy as it’s a popular Catholic pilgrimage site so consider bringing tissues in case they’re out of toilet paper.

  • 5/5 Phimnoyfoods And I. 1 year ago on Google • 46 reviews
    Thought provoking. Seeing the incorrupt body of St. Catherine Laboure right before your eyes makes your Faith in the living God stronger. Incorruptibility of the human body is one of the results of one’s faith in HIM! Apparitions of the Virgin Mary is one proof of her motherhood and how she loves us and her desire to intercede for us as her children! St Catherine of Laboure of the DC (Daughters of Charity) Congregation was the visionary who was instructed by the Virgin Mary in several apparitions, to have a medal struck depicting the exact second apparition. With the help of her spiritual confessor, who,after two long years, finally believed her, the priest was able to later persuade the bishop of the apparition and the Virgin Mary’s request to have a medal made. During St. Catherine’s evening meditations, after the Virgin Mary’s second apparition, She showed herself inside an oval frame, standing upon a globe with rays of light coming from her hands toward the globe. Around the frame were the words, “O Mary, conceived without sin, pray for us who have recourse to thee." The first 2000 medals started the worldwide devotion. When you want to hear mass in English though, check their schedule online! Remember, the chapel is small and the number of church-goers are limited at a time. You will have to stand in queue outside the DC premises which, by the way, is surrounded by famous brand stores. I suggest you look up several articles online so you will know more about the life of St Catherine Laboure and her humility. She never, by the way, revealed to her fellow DC Nuns that she was the visionary. It was only at her death bed that she revealed to her mother superior that she was the visionary.

    One of the most peaceful and spiritual place in the centre of noisy Paris. Not easy to find as it is not visible like other churches with big domes. This is a hidden jewel not to miss. I would stress that this is more a spiritual place than touristic.

    This place has an undescribable energy. It is beautiful and very, very special - and the story behind Catherine Labouré is impressive and humbling at the same time.

    My favorite place to visit. Not for tourists but super meaningful for devotees of Mother Mary. You will be able to see St Catherine's body in perfect condition after all these years. Small shop sells medallions which you can give as presents. Worth the extra visit

    The chapel was very beautiful I was very moved and cried. Luckily I arrived right before Mass and I was able to attend. There’s a gift shop too but closed at the time after Mass so I had to return later at night.

    It's great that visiting this church allows me to reconnect with your childhood and reminisce about my school days.

    Very spiritual place. It is possible to do a confession if you take the time to wait for your turn. There is a shop to buy the famous medal before you reach the entrance of the Chapel

    Beautiful chapel. Many people were waiting to visit since it closes from 1:00 - 2:30 pm.

    A magical little chapel with a beautiful history. There definitely is a special energy here. I used to go regularly when I was living in Paris and needed comfort. My prayers have always been answered.

    Thanks to Rita Antraigue, who brought us to The Chapel of The Miraculous Medal. I knew about this Medal, as I have assisted Fr Salvatore Sabato OFMConv to make St Joseph Cupertino praying cards, where the Medal is attached in the cards. I did gave one of this card to a student who came with his group of students. Praise The Lord, I am able to pray in this beautiful Chapel. I feel really good after visiting the relics of Saint Catherine Labouré, and thanking her for the Medal.

    A wonderfull holy place ! Build in by Saint Vincent de Paul and Louise de Marignac au XVII centuri - it s become famous worldwide for believers and pilgrims as in the year 1830, during the night of 18th of July , a young girl, Catherine Labouré is awaken by a young child saying the Vierge Marie is waiting for her inside the chapelle - she dress up and follow the child imbedded in ray of sunlight, to arrive in the Chapelle.. where Vierge Marie was waiting for her, talking to her 2 hours explaining the duty she wants to give to her , asking the young Catherine to mint in this place the marvellous medals of Sainte Marie and gives it to the world - now it is a famous place with more 2 millions visitors per year , 2nd holy place visited for pilgrims and spiritual people after Lourdes in France! Here you can feel a very peaceful and warm energy spreading inside the chapelle, like a good healing energy vortex from Marie. Definitely a loving place for peace and meditation and praying - after the big portal entrance from the Rue du Bac street you will find the medals books store on the right and the small entrance of the chapelle de la médaille miraculeuse at the end, straight away !!

  • 5/5 Anna F. 2 years ago on Google
    Must see for any Catholic visiting Paris. You can write petitions and leave them in a basket that they present at the alter during Mass
