On Friday September 13th, the pilgrim icon was taken from Mount St. Mary’s Seminary to the Chapel of St. Mary on the Hill at National Shrine of Our Lady of Lourdes Grotto.
It was here that, in 1724, Catholics came seeking relief from religious persecution. The first Catholics had come to Maryland in 1634. The colony they founded ("Mary's Land") was the first to explicitly respect the rights of others to freely practice the faith. But in 1645, during the English Civil War, Puritans from the neighboring colony of Jamestown, Virginia invaded and burned St. Mary’s City to the ground.
