Ebook - epub, mobi, and pdf

Mission Hill! How many profound memories those two simple words bring to mind for generations of Bostonians—Catholic or not—is testimony to the never-failing love of God and his Blessed Mother for the people of this city. For over 150 years the magnificent Redemptorist Basilica has dom-inated the western skyline of this city where once upon a time it was a capital offense to be, or to harbor, a Catholic priest.
But the real story, told briefly in this little book, is that of the thousands of conversions and miraculous healings granted through the presence of the image of Our Lady of Perpetual Help given into the care of the sons of Saint Alphonsus by Blessed Pope Pius IX in 1871 that is enshrined over the high altar within the church.
Over the years how many millions of prayers, novenas, and masses have been offered before this image only heaven knows, but the tender mercies of Our Lady for the lovers of her son have been manifest so spectacularly to generations of Bosto-nians and others at this shrine are proof of her maternal so-licitude and testimony to the truth of her title as Our Lady of Perpetual Help.
