5. State a short narrative of the apparition. Names of people, place, dates

and other significant information.

a. Pontmain 1871
- On January 17, 1871, as darkness descended on the village, the Virgin Mary
appeared to four children above a barn on the farm of the Barbadette
family in Pontmain. Eugene, age 12, and his brother Joseph, age 10, were
the first to see her in the sky. They described a beautiful lady in a dark blue
dress covered with stars. She wore a black veil with a golden crown on her
head. Two little girls, Francoise Richer, age 11, and Jeanne Marie LeBosse,
age 9, also saw her in the sky.

b. Lourdes 1858
- Eighteen apparitions of the Blessed Virgin Mary to a little fourteen-year-old
French girl in southern France, in 1858. The name of the little girl was Marie
Bernadette Soubirous. The first of Our Lady’s apparitions to her was on
February 11. The last was on July 16, the feast of Our Lady of Mount Carmel.
The greatest was on March 25, the feast of the Annunciation. The Mother of
God, on March 25, said to Saint Bernadette, in keeping with the doctrine
defined four years before by Pope Pius IX, affirming that she had been
immaculately conceived, not “I was immaculately conceived,” but  “I AM THE
 IMMACULATE CONCEPTION,” thereby letting us know that she was God’s very
notion of this grace from all eternity.

c. La Salette 1846
- La Salette is a parish in the Diocese of Grenoble made up of a few tiny
hamlets in the French Alps. It was not the first visit of Our Lady to the Alps,
for about forty miles from La Salette, at Laus, the Blessed Virgin had appeared
more than six hundred times to Venerable Benoite Rencurel, between 1664
and 1718.

d. Rome 1842
- On January 20,1842, the Virgin Mary appeared to Alphonse Ratisbonne in a
church in Rome.

e. Paris 1830
- Catherine Labouré stated that on 19 July 1830 Chapel Rue Du Bac 140,
Paris, the eve of the feast of Saint Vincent de Paul, she woke up after hearing
the voice of one child calling her to the chapel, where she heard the Virgin
Mary say to her, "God wishes to charge you with a mission. You will be
contradicted, but do not fear; you will have the grace to do what is necessary.
Tell your spiritual director all that passes within you. Times are evil in France
and in the world.
- On 27 November 1830 Chapel Rue Du Bac 140, Paris, Catherine reported
that the Blessed Mother returned during evening meditations. She displayed
herself inside an oval frame, standing upon a globe. She wore many rings set
with gems that shone rays of light over the globe. Around the margin of the
frame appeared the words Ô Marie, conçue sans péché, priez pour nous qui
avons recours à vous ("O Mary, conceived without sin, pray for us who have
recourse to thee").

f. Guadalupe 1531
- In 1531, a “Lady from Heaven” appeared to a poor Indian at Tepeyac, a hill
northwest of Mexico City. She identified Herself as the Mother of the True God,
 instructed him to have the bishop build a temple on the site, and left an image
of Herself imprinted miraculously on his tilma, a poor quality cactus-cloth,
which should have deteriorated in 20 years, but which shows no sign of
decay 471 years later, and today still defies all scientific explanations of its
origin. It apparently even reflects in Her eyes what was in front of Her in
1531.

g. Syracuse 1953
- In Syracuse, Italy in August 29,1953 Antonina Janusso was cured from
pains while witnessing a weeping plaque of the Madonna in the home of the
parents of her husband, Angelo. The tears purportedly were the source of
many miracles throughout Italy. Pope Pius XII approved of the miraculous
weeping after the tears were found by four different doctors to be human.

h. Banneux 1933
- On January 3,1933 in a garden behind the Beco family's cottage, the
Blessed Mother is said to have appeared to Mariette Beco (age 11) eight
times. Calling herself the "Virgin of the Poor," Mary promised to intercede for
the poor, the sick and the suffering.

i. Beauraing 1932
- Our Lady of Beauraing, also known as the Virgin of the Golden Heart,
appeared to Fernande Voisin (15), Andree Degeimbre (14), Gilberte Voisin
(13) Albert Voisin (11) and Gilberte Degeimbre (9) between November 29,
1932 and January 3, 1933. The children were from two different families—
three from a railway clerk and his wife, and two girls from a farmer's widow.
- On the evening of 29 November 1932, four of the children walked to a
convent school run by the Sisters of Christian Doctrine to meet up with one
of the girls and walk home with her. When they reached the school, Albert
pointed to a lady dressed in a long white robe, near a railroad viaduct just past
the school. She looked to be around 18-20 years old with deep blue eyes, and
a rosary hung from her arm. When Albert asked, "Are you the Immaculate
 Virgin?" The Lady smiled and nodded her head. "What do you want?" he
asked. "Always be good,” our Blessed Mother answered.
- The other children saw her as well. Over the next several weeks, they saw the
Lady thirty-two more times, generally in the garden of the convent school.
The final apparition was on January 3, 1933.

j. Fatima 1917
- The first time the Angel appeared was on 13 May 1917. They were sheltering
from the rain on a hillside called the Cabeço. When the rain had passed and
the sun had returned, the little shepherds spent the day at this spot, eating
lunch, saying the Rosary and playing games. Lucia was then only nine years
old, Francisco was eight, and Jacinta was six.
- The second apparition of the Angel took place during the summer of 3 June
1917. While the children were playing around their favorite well, the Angel
suddenly appeared. “What are you doing?” he asked. “Pray, pray a great deal!
The Holy Hearts of Jesus and Mary have designs of mercy on you. Offer
unceasingly prayers and sacrifice yourselves to the Most High.”
- Later that year in the autumn, the third and last vision occurred when the
children took their sheep to the same place where the first apparition took
place. There in the blessed place of the Cabeço, they were reciting the prayer
the Angel had taught them when above them an unknown light appeared.
Lucia relates, “We got up again to see what was happening, and we saw the
Angel again, who had in his left hand a Chalice over which was suspended a
Host, from which some drops of Blood fell into the Chalice.”
