Mother of the
Redeemer,
Bloomington, IN
Ruth Ann Wade, an introverted and unpretentious school teacher, began receiving
visions of Mary and Jesus in her home. She first shared them with her parish priest,
then with her prayer group. Pilgrims began flocking to the farm where the Wades
resided in order to hear Ruth Ann’s testimony. Mary revealed herself as the Mother of
the Redeemer and requested that a chapel be built on the Wades’ farm hill.
Over time, Our Lady’s messages included further requests for a retreat center, guest
house, Stations of the Cross path, and a rosary path. The Mother of the Redeemer
Farm is now a full-fledged retreat center, and the Wades no longer live on site.
Instead, it houses full time priests and religious, who offer retreats to pilgrims, as well
as daily Mass and Eucharistic Adoration.

Our Lady of the
Rosary of San Nicolas,
Buenos Aires, Argentina
Between 1983 and 1990, Mary
appeared to an Argentinian
housewife named Gladys Herminia
Quiroga de Motta on a near-daily
basis, beginning on October 13,
1983 while Gladys was praying her
rosary at home.
Mary appeared to her wearing a

blue dress, saying, “Do not be
afraid. Receive this Rosary from my
hands and keep it forever and
ever. You are obedient; I am
happy because of it. Rejoice, for
God is with you,” and handed
Gladys a white rosary. Our Lady’s
messages have mainly been
portents of things to come if the
world does not convert, as well as
revelations of things to come.
These apparitions were recently
approved by an Argentinian
bishop as supernatural in origin.

Our Lady of
Laus, France
In 1664, a young French shepherdess named Benoite Rencurel took her sheep to the
Valley of Kilns, where she first saw Mary holding the child Jesus in her arms. Mary
instructed Benoite to travel out of Laus and seek a sweet smelling perfume at a
chapel, which she wanted to be renovated. Once Benoite came upon it, Mary told
her, “This will be a place of conversion for numerous sinners, and I will appear here
very often.”
The oil from the sanctuary lamp at the chapel dedicated to Notre Dame de Bon
Recontre is known to heal the sick and dying. The message of Our Lady here, also
known as the Refuge of Sinners, is reconciliation – with oneself, with others, and with
God. The apparition site is one which has been approved by the Church.

Apparitions
in Tensta, Sweden
In 2012, several witnesses claimed to have seen Mary on the roof of their church, a
Syrian Orthodox parish in Tensta, Sweden. Those who saw her said her appearance
there was relevant to the ongoing strife in Syria. Our Lady asked them to pray for
peace, to be harbingers of peace everywhere. She appeared to the witnesses three
times, one of which seems to be captured in a photograph. These apparitions have
not yet been approved by the Catholic Church.

Our Lady of
Akita, Japan
Sister Agnes Katsuko Sasagawa

saw a hand-carved wooden
statue of Our Lady come alive and
speak to her in 1973. The statue is
said to have brought about
miraculous cures to those who
believe. The main message of
Our Lady of Akita is prayer
(especially the Rosary) and
penance, with an ominous
warning of persecutions and
heresies to befall the Catholic
Church in future times.
Adding some credibility to these apparitions, Sr. Sasagawa was
miraculously healed of a hearing impairment she had, and the healing
occurred shortly after the Marian apparitions began. The statue also is
reported to mysteriously weep from time to time, one occasion of
which was broadcast on national Japanese television. The Church is
still investigating the validity of these apparitions.

Our Lady of
Good Counsel,
Genazzano, Italy
According to legend, in 1467

the people of Genazzano,
Italy heard heavenly music
being played. Suddenly an
ethereal cloud descended
upon their parish church and
annihilated one of the walls,
vanishing just as quickly as it
came. In its place was a fresco
of Mary and the Christ Child, a
painting on a surface no thicker
than an egg shell that became
affectionately known as Our
Lady of Good Counsel. The
Augustinians have cared for
the mysterious image at the
parish of Santa Maria, where
numerous miracles and cures
are said to have taken place.
