274- Our Lady of Victory/Notre-Dame des Victoires (Paris)

As promised, I explore Notre-Dame des Victoires in Paris. This is the Basilica where Venerable Father Nelson Baker (his story is in Episode 269) found his devotion to the Virgin Mary as well as the story of the Basilica’s history.

A history that includes Father Charles Degenelles who also was inspired by the Madonna back in 1836.

Oh yes, there are over 37,000 ex voto offerings from other pilgrims found covering the walls of this storied place of worship.

Constant Procession tells of key apparitions of the Virgin Mary since she passed on from the world and how she serves humanity through Christianity.

The origin of these podcasts began with my book The Constant Procession.
