Apparition of St. Mary at our church on Tuesday, February 14th, 2006

 

Please notice, in all pictures, that there is only one window (shown with an arrow) that has the image of St. Mary carrying the baby Jesus on her left arm. Note the halo around her head and the cloud in the back.

Additionally, a light appeared in the church at 2:00 AM (Wednesday, Feb. 15th, 2006) to two of our youth who were spending the night in the church to get the blessing of St. Mary.

Also, the fire alarm went off at 4:00 AM at the Fire Department detecting smoke in the church. When they arrived, they couldn't open the door (although they have access to the key) and started banging on the door prompting the youth to run to open the door (before they could break it). After extensive search, they found nothing in the church. Most likely, angels and saints raised incense to welcome the coming of the blessed Virgin to our church.

Also, on Tuesday 21st, 2006, there was a confession appointment of a family with Abouna at 6:30 PM. Due to unexpected circumstances, Abouna arrived about 25 minutes late. Amazingly, the family heard prayers and praising inside the church and they thought that Abouna was inside the church praying and praising God. Hence, they waited for him to finish and open the church's doors. Surprisingly, Abouna arrived and entered the church from the outside right before their own eyes.
