Thank you ever so much for your patience and your interest in the shrine of Our Lady of Montligeon. Much obliged !

Just to come back to one of your questions on figures, in 2019 :

We received 100 000 pilgrims, 20 000  for a retreat,  5000 pilgrims for the month of November during the « Heaven’s Pilgrimages » alone, and hosted 50 specific sessions.

As for the statue of our Lady of Montligeon, please note that we tend to get the one  made in Alabaster, it’s of great quality, exquisite ! (much better than plaster or any other material)…

Here are the details of the wholesaler : I’ll let them know you might be in touch with them. They have a website (in several languages) and have staff who speak English, which will be only too happy to help you.

I would only advise you to contact them asap, if you wish to put an order in, in view of having statues of OL of Montligeon in due time, for I expect you’ll be swamped with enquiries about the statue that we will be bringing on the show! (I believe the supplier mentioned between 30 to 45 days for an order, depending on quantities.

Michael, you mentioned that you wrote a couple of books on the eschatological topics, please let me know what they are, for I’d love to have them one day here on sale at our  small bookstore.

Of course, if I may be of any further help, please do not hesitate to  let me know,

God bless you,

Martine
