On Sept. 8, 1565, on the Feast Day of the Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary, Pedro Menendez came ashore and proclaimed the site for Spain and the Catholic Church. The first Spanish settlers and soldiers brought a great love and devotion to Our Lady and in 1577, they established on the mission grounds the first sanctuary in her name. They built a chapel and dedicated it to Nuestra Senora de La Leche y Buen Parto – Our Lady of the Milk and Happy Delivery.

Today, we continue to celebrate the Birthday of the Blessed Virgin Mary- along with the founding of our great city!

Mary, Mother of God, pray for us. 🙏
