In the heart of Paris, the historic Chapelle Saint Vincent de Paul was the setting, on October 8, 2026, for a remarkable demonstration of the Catholic faith. About 200 participants gathered beneath the church’s vaults to take part in a solemn Mass of consecration, celebrated by Fr. Manuel Rodriguez.

The atmosphere of contemplation and fervor allowed those present to immerse themselves in the mystery of total surrender to God, renewing their baptismal promises and consecrating their lives to the protection of the Blessed Virgin Mary, according to the method of St. Louis Marie Grignion de Montfort, a saint born in France.

The celebration in the French capital demonstrates that, even amid the spiritual challenges of the contemporary secularized world, the flame of true faith remains alive and active in the hearts of those who seek refuge in the traditional liturgy and the unchanging doctrine of the Church.

The faithful, united in prayer before the altar, offered up prayers for the conversion of souls and for fidelity to the barque of Peter, surrendering themselves to Jesus—as slaves of love—through the Immaculate Hands of Our Lady.
