Sanctuary of Our Lady of Włoszczowa

Last weekend I visited my family and my family town: Włoszczowa. I would like present you our church.

Sanctuarium of Our Lady of Włoszczowa

In this place in 1647 is built a chapel, because here were many miraculous apparitions of the Blessed Virgin Mary. According to historical records on May 27, 1642 Holy Mary accompanied by St. Joseph appeared to a nine-year-old girl. Present church is an extension of this chapel.
At the time of the apparition, those gathering and praying there experienced many miraculous recoveries.  
The vantered picture of Our Lady of Włoszczowa, patroness of children and families is to be seen in the  main altar.
On June 3, 2007, a ceremony was held to place papal crowns on the temples of Jesus and Mary.
