Our Lady chose to come to a poor, small, uneducated girl in an obscure town in the southwest of France. Learn more about these miraculous apparitions from Fr. Joe Roesch, MIC, as we continue our Marian pilgrimage through France.
Father Joseph Roesch, MIC, shares the account of the apparition of Our Lady to St. Catherine Laboure in 1830 from Paris, France.
God was preparing Lucia before the visions took place. Father Joe notes that Lucia's mother urged her to ask God to make her a saint, and Lucia made a self-offering.
When Our Lady appeared in La Salette, France, she had a very serious message to give to her children about the Cross of Jesus.
