Stories of Hope

The National Votive Shrine of Our Lady of Prompt Succor serves God and all God’s people as the center of devotion to the Mother of Jesus under the title of Our Lady of Prompt Succor—quick help. The Shrine is a place of pilgrimage, worship, and prayer, and welcomes all who wish to come to this sacred place.

For over 100 years, the Shrine has served as a place of hope for worshippers from around the world! Generations of Ursulines and friends of Our Lady of Prompt Succor have learned about many of the favors granted through the intercession of Our Lady in response to pleas for quick and favorable help. We will never know them all, but those we know are a source of encouragement and hope to all who count on Our Lady’s help.

In honor of Our Lady's many intercessions, and in celebration of our Church's Holy Year, we invite you to read the stories of hope that were shared with us in the 2025 Jubilee Year.
