🌹 Our Lady of Beauraing — The Virgin of the Golden Heart 🌹

Have you noticed the beautiful statue of Mary in the courtyard at St. Joachim Church? It represents Our Lady of Beauraing, also known as the Virgin of the Golden Heart.

Between 1932 and 1933, the Blessed Virgin Mary appeared to five children in Beauraing, Belgium. Her message was simple and powerful: “Pray, pray a lot” and “always be good.” She revealed her golden heart as a sign of her deep maternal love and her call to prayer, conversion, and trust in God.

There is also a special story behind our statue at St. Joachim. George Herter of Waseca, who had married a Belgian woman during World War II, made a visit with his wife to the Shrine of Our Lady of Beauraing in Belgium. They brought back pieces of the hawthorn tree associated with the apparitions. According to the local account, their son later recovered from a serious illness after a sprig of the tree was placed beneath his pillow. Their connection to Beauraing eventually led to statues being shared with others.

❤️ Our statue is more than a beautiful image; it reminds us of Mary's loving presence and her invitation to deepen our faith.

The next time you visit St. Joachim, take a moment to stop by the statue, offer a prayer, and ask Our Lady to guide our parish families closer to her Son, Jesus Christ.

🌹 Our Lady of Beauraing, Virgin of the Golden Heart, pray for us!
