Roman Veronica Veil Copies
Over 6,000 Certified Miracles
In the 1860’s a Benedictine benefactress of Arras gave three copies of the engraving of the Veil of Veronica to the Carmel of Tours, France. Ven. Leo Dupont received two and put one in his drawing room. He put an oil lamp to burn night and day. Since these were relics of Our Lord Jesus Christ touched to the Veil of Veronica, the Spear and the Holy Cross, over 6,000 people were cured miraculously.
Venerable Leo Dupont’s Drawing Room was converted to the Oratory Chapel of the Holy Face and maintained by the Priests of the Holy Face. They no longer exist but the center is run by a priest appointed by the archbishop of Tours.
Copies handed out until World War II
From about 1860—1945 Priests of the Holy Face would go to Rome annually and touch copies to the Veil of Veronica, the Spear and the Holy Cross, and give them to devotees.
2024 Update for the Veil of Veronica Project
Thank you for praying for the Veil of Veronica Project. The League of St. Martin is pleased to announce that we have had copies of the Holy Face of Jesus copied to a number of linens and touched to the Veil of Veronica in 2024. These were only touched to the Veil of Veronica and not the Spear and the Holy Cross as is custom. Nonetheless they are truly images touched to the true Veil of Veronica on which Jesus miraculously left his sacred image. There is a strict criteria for those who wish to receive a copy and they are as follows:
1. A bishop, archbishop or cardinal who formally requests by letter. Please mail a formal letter on letterhead to: 8309 W. Meadow Pass Ct., Wichita, KS 67205.
2. A pastor who formally requests by letter for one, with the promise to publicly display in his church. Please mail a formal letter on letterhead with details for the public display to: 8309 W. Meadow Pass Ct., Wichita, KS 67205.
3. A director of a new Confraternity of the Holy Face established by the local Ordinary no earlier than 2024 who formally requests by letter. Please mail the letter to: 8309 W. Meadow Pass Ct., Wichita, KS 67205.
4. A chapter of the League of St. Martin that has maintained active status after the two-year point. (If you have not received one a few months after that date let us know.)
5. Those who by heroic promotion of the Holy Face and its Archconfraternities and Confraternities are approved by the director of the League of St. Martin.
After receiving the Veil copy it is recommended to erect a shrine of the Holy Face. See link below for suggestions for the shrine.
Please continue to pray for this project so that additional copies touched to the authentic Veil of Veronica will be more available in the future!
Questions and Answers
What can you do now?
Become a contemplative to stop the progress of revolutionary men. Now is their hour. It seems evil has everything on it’s side, but God will not be mocked by them if there is a counter-revolution. The best things in the Church start with contemplation.
What is the process for the League of St Martin to make copies of the Veil of St. Veronica?
First the League makes copies on linen. Then we need to make a connection with some prelate in Rome to help us get a meeting with the one in charge at St. Peter’s Basilica in order to touch the linens to the Veil of Veronica, the Holy Spear and the Holy Cross. Then we give them out to pious associations and ecclesiastical bodies.
How do I get a copy of the Veil of Veronica from the League of St. Martin?
One has to be in a Monastery or Convent, or Ecclesiastical body approved by the Director and his council. Also when a prayer group led by a captain called a League of St. Martin has reached certain goals of contemplation, they will get some veils after approval by the Director and his council. After receiving the Veil copy it is recommended to erect a shrine of the Holy Face. See link below for suggestions for the shrine.
