Over 300 years ago in the southeast of France, Our Lady appeared to a visionary for 54 years. Venerable Bernoît was given many mystical graces, including the gift of reading souls. Our Lord gave her this gift in order to bring people back to the Sacrament of Confession. Learn more about this Marian visionary and these apparitions of Our Lady of Laus from Fr. Joe Roesch, MIC.

Father Joseph Roesch, MIC, shares about the connection between St. Vincent de Paul and St. Catherine Laboure in Paris, near the special shrine of the Miraculous Medal, were the heart of St. Vincent de Paul is kept in a reliquary. 

Initially, St. Bernadette's pastor didn't believe that she was seeing the Blessed Virgin Mary appear to her; no doubt it would be a difficult thing to believe!Father Joe talks in front of the parish church where St. Bernadette was baptized and received her First Holy Communion.
