Faire connaître et aimer Marie
In Betania, Venezuela, from 1976 to 1988, Mary, the Mother of God appeared to Maria Esperanza Medano, under the title of Our Lady Reconciling the Peoples. During one of the apparitions, 150 people were present and also saw the Lady.
The apparitions of Betania were approved by the local bishop. In 2010, the Diocese of Metuchen (New Jersey, United States) opened the cause for beatification and canonization of this visionary, now officially recognized as Servant of God Maria Esperanza.
In the United States, the Virgin Mary appeared to a young immigrant woman named Adele Brise, in Champion, Wisconsin in 1859. Our Lady called her to gather the children of the land and to teach them what they ought to know in order to come to salvation.
In 2010, the apparitions were approved by the Bishop of Green Bay, Wisconsin, and the Shrine of Our Lady of Good Help, built on the site of the apparitions, attracts many pilgrims every year.
