Notre Dame de Lourdes de Casablanca

I’m currently on a trip with the U.S. Grains Council in Morocco with stops still to come in Egypt and Jordan.
Today I talked my group into stopping by a Catholic Church. This is Notre Dame de Lourdes de Casablanca. Unfortunately my schedule didn’t allow me to attend Mass.
Morocco is a mostly Muslim country but there are quite a few Catholics that are helping spread the faith.
One of my goals in traveling internationally has been to come home with an image of Mary from each country I visit. I was really thinking that wouldn’t happen in Morocco. However, in the back of the church there was a very nice plaster image of Mary holding Jesus. I bought it and made and hope I can get it home safely! That’s my miracle of the day.
