St. Louis Cathedral

• You should see it in person.  Spectacular!

• Other great things being done by Archbishop Burke include his current strong backing of a main request of the Blessed Virgin in her apparitions as “Our Lady of America”.  This is just now gaining momentum for the goal of placing this official image in the National Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception in Washington – to gain many graces for America in this most urgent time.

  And in the Old Cathedral of St. Louis through August:

    The new official image of Our Lady of America which Archbishop Raymond L. Burke blessed last November at the United States Bishops meeting in Baltimore can now be seen in downtown Saint Louis, Missouri in the historic Basilica of St. Louis, King, on the Mississippi Riverfront adjoining the National Park Service Jefferson National Expansion Memorial. Her statue will be there throughout this August (2007). This beautiful and historic Basilica of Saint Louis was the Proto-Cathedral of the Catholic Church in the United States West of the Mississippi River. It is indeed fitting and proper for the statue of Our Lady of America to be displayed in this former Cathedral of the Archdiocese of Saint Louis, so convenient to pilgrims and travelers. The Basilica has free parking for visitors to the Church.

  We expect this statue to visit a West Coast location and several other locations throughout the rest of this year.
