The Our Lady of the Miraculous Medal Roman Catholic Church is a Roman Catholic church in New York built in 1917. It is located at 62-81 60th Place Ridgewood, New York 11385.[1] The name of the church was based on a chapel in Paris, France believed to be the place of worship where the Virgin Mary appeared to Catherine Labouré in 1830 to request the creation of a miraculous medal. It is one of the recorded 92 Christian sanctuaries in New York dedicated to the Virgin Mary: one among 76 Roman Catholic churches in New York and one among 19 geographically located in Queens, New York.[2]
