Tracing America's Catholic Roots: Our Lady of La Leche, Florida


Listen Later

When you think of Catholic history, your mind probably jumps to Rome, breathtaking European cathedrals, and ancient saints. But did you know that the roots of our faith in America go all the way back to the 1500s?

In this episode, we’re diving into the incredible story of Our Lady of La Leche in St. Augustine, FL—home to the first Mass ever celebrated in the U.S. Recognized as one of the most peaceful places in America, this shrine invites us to step into the deep history of Catholicism on our own soil.

We’ll uncover the powerful devotion to Our Lady of La Leche, why it still matters today, and how to live with that same sense of awe and wonder in our faith.

Let’s rediscover the Catholic history you probably didn’t learn in school.
