For centuries, veneration of the historic icon of Our Lady of Czestochowa has been credited with numerous miracles and favors, both spiritual and physical.  A beautiful replica of this icon has been blessed and consecrated at the monastery of Jasna Gora in Poland, where the original is kept, and entrusted to the pro-life missionaries of Human Life International for the defense of life, marriage and the family.

Now, having traveled many tens of thousands of miles from Vladivostok in Russia, throughout Europe and North America, she will be visiting Hays to spread the Gospel of life.

The public is inivted Wednesday evening, Oct. 8th, at the Comeau Catholic Campus Center as we venerate Our Lady’s icon in gratitude for her intercession on behalf of life and our families. Adoration of Christ in the Blessed Sacrament will be underway upon the icon’s expected arrival at 4 p.m. and Mass will be celebrated at 5:45 p.m. Veneration of the icon will continue until approximately 8:30PM, when it is scheduled to depart for the Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception in Wichita.
