NATIONAL PRESIDENT'S PILGRIMAGE 20/27 SEPTEMBER 2020

In the winter of 1933, a young girl named Mariette Beco reported that the Virgin Mary appeared to her on eightseparate occasions. Mariette was 11 years old and from a poor family. The Virgin spokeonly briefly during her apparitions, but encouraged the girl to pray and led her to aspring with healing powers. After the apparitions many healing miracles associated with the spring at Banneux were reported and as a result it became a place of pilgrimage.
