Catholic apparitions

Catholic apparitions are supernatural appearances of the Virgin Mary, Jesus, or saints reported by individuals or groups, often involving messages or signs intended to inspire faith, hope, or moral renewal. These events are carefully investigated by Church authorities to discern their authenticity and spiritual significance. When approved, they reaffirm core Catholic beliefs and often lead to increased devotion among the faithful. Apparitions are considered genuine when they align with Church teachings, lack deception, and promote a deeper connection to Christ and the Church’s message. Not all reported apparitions are officially recognized, but they remain meaningful to many believers.
