The pastor in Lourdes didn't believe that St. Bernadette was receiving apparitions of Our Lady. To prove that it really was Our Lady, St. Bernadette was told to ask Our Lady one thing.Our Lady's reply to Bernadette: "I am the Immaculate Conception"Father Joe shares about this just outside the rectory where St. Bernadette's pastor lived in Lourdes.

 Just two hours from the famous apparition site of Lourdes is the monastery of Notre Dame de Prouille. Here St. Dominic founded the Dominican order and Our Lady appeared to him to give him the prayer of the Rosary.

Our Lady appeared to a vineyard worker in a tiny town in the southeast of France. She gave an important message to keep holy the Sabbath.Father Joe Roesch, MIC, shares this apparition from the Shrine of Our Lady of Sunday in Saint Bauzille de la Sylve, France.
