It is a universal medal, meant for everyone, and she calls us to wear it with love and trust. Since Saint Catherine Labouré began distributing the medal in 1832, countless people have experienced special blessings through its devotion.

The front features an intricately designed white guilloché adorned with a fully bloomed, hand-painted pink rose and delicate green leaves, framed by an oval-shaped sterling silver dot design. Beneath the cover lies a sterling silver Miraculous Medal with the Marian signature uniquely appearing on the front through the guilloche. when fanned open a raised image of Our Lady of Mount Carmel is features. An intricately detailed Sacred Heart medal, framed by the same dot pattern on the front of the slider , completes this extraordinary piece, making it a Scapular medal of profound devotion.
The heirloom medal is displayed on an elegant 18-inch, 1.8 mm sterling silver rolo chain, creating a timeless commemorative piece.
On this day, and every day, we pray with faith: “O Mary, conceived without sin, pray for us who have recourse to thee.”
