Our Lady of Laus

We’re at a small village in southern France at the foot of the Alps, southeast of Gap, called Laus, where Our Lady appeared to a young girl almost 400 years ago. It has only been approved by Mother Church in 2008, and yet it has been an ongoing place of pilgrimage for the French these last 400 years! Noteworthy is the fact that this is the longest period Our Lady has appeared to anyone, in the history of her apparitions - 54 years! Also interesting is the fact that the cause for the Beatification of the visionary, Benoite Rencurel, which had become dormant almost a hundred years ago, has now become very active, due to the efforts of the Bishop of the Diocese, Jean-Michel di Falco Leandri, who has a great devotion to Our Lady of Laus.
