Next June 27, the feast of Our Lady of Perpetual Help is celebrated, patron saint of Redemptorist priests and whose original icon is on the main altar of the Church of San Alfonso, very close to the Basilica of Santa María Maggiore in Rome.
This image remembers the Virgin’s care for Jesus, from her conception until her death, and how today she continues to protect all her children who come to her.
Nowadays, devotion to Our Lady of Perpetual Help has expanded to various places, with churches and sanctuaries being built in her honor. Her portrait is known and revered in all parts of the world.
