- religious history (at Maryland’s Old Bohemia, Jesuit priests lived and worked incognito during anti-Catholic persecution)
- artifacts (the Miraculous Medal Shrine in Philadelphia holds an original cast by Saint Catherine Labouré)
- answered prayer (from the Grasshopper Chapel in Minnesota to the Coral Miracle Church in Hawaii)
