According to tradition, angels lifted up and transported the little house several times, finally to its current resting place in Loreto, Italy.
Father John Joseph explains how Our Lady exemplifies the role of the mother in the home. The home is where children can see the faith of their parents, where they learn their Christian virtues and what it means to be Catholic.
