Notre-Dame de Tout-Pouvoir, Catholic shrine in Saint-Marcel, Aosta Valley, Italy

Notre-Dame de Tout-Pouvoir is a Marian shrine in the hamlet of Plout, in the municipality of Saint-Marcel in the Aosta Valley. The present building, completed in 1853 by the Aosta contractor Jérôme Borney, replaced the 1715 chapel that had become too small for the pilgrims. It houses a statue of the Virgin offered in 1744 by Charles Beltram, prior of the Collegiate Church of Saint-Ours.

A statue of the Virgin was venerated at Plout from the 14th century. In 1640 a mason who had broken his leg here and was healed built the first chapel; it was replaced by a new building blessed on 14 September 1715, after the heads of families of Plout, Denchasaz and Réan signed the act on 8 September. Bishop André Jourdain ordered a larger church in 1850, finished by Jérôme Borney and inaugurated on 14 September 1853.

The shrine is dedicated to Notre-Dame de Tout-Pouvoir, a name that replaced Notre-Dame des Ermites as pilgrim numbers grew. Its feast days, 26 July and 14 September, draw worshippers to Plout in the commune of Saint-Marcel. In 1744 Charles Beltram, prior of the Collegiate Church of Saint-Ours, gave a new statue of the Virgin.

The sanctuary opens to visitors on 26 July and 14 September, the days of the patronal feasts, so plan a visit around those two dates. It stands in the hamlet of Plout, in the municipality of Saint-Marcel in the Aosta Valley.

The 1560 writings confirm a small statue of the Holy Virgin of the Hermits stood in a grotto at Plout, and pilgrims then travelled to Einsiedeln Abbey via the Grand-Saint-Bernard or Théodule passes. Growing pilgrim numbers later changed the dedication from Notre-Dame des Ermites to Notre-Dame de Tout-Pouvoir.
