Saint Bernadette Soubirous received her apparition from our Lady, the Blessed Virgin Mary at Lourdes, France, in 1858, some twenty-eight years after the apparition of Saint Catherine Laboure at Paris, France. Our Lady appeared to Bernadette and identified herself by saying, "I am the Immaculate Conception," the same words she had spoken to Saint Catherine many years earlier. Saint Bernadette was canonized on December 8, 1933. Just underneath this painting is the marble tomb that marks the burial site of Father Felix De Andreis.
