Description

On the grounds of the Mission Nombre de Dios in St. Augustine, Florida, one can find the Chapel of Nuestra Señora de La Leche y Buen Parto (Our Lady of the Milk and Happy Delivery).

The present chapel is small and simple, holding approximately thirty persons, and reflects the Spanish mission style of the sixteenth century. The chapel houses the statue of Our Lady of La Leche and is a special place of quiet prayer for those seeking her intercession. A statue of St. Peter, holding the keys of the kingdom, stands above the outside entrance and below a small mission bell.
