Discuss Church teachings about the pilgrimage site and what
you expect to learn from visiting the site
The chapel
of Rue De Bac, did believe the apparition with Catherine Laboure really did
happen, mostly due to the witnesses, and also because there are other churches
in Europe who have approved the apparition. There are stories on how this
apparition occurred. The apparition happened twice in the chapel of Rue De Bac.
The church teachings discuss how Mary appeared to Catherine Laboure and how
apparition impacted on people’s lives. When the time comes I will travel to Rue
De Bac, in Paris, France. I will expect to see many Christians there, praying,
strengthening their relationship with their faith. I will expect to have a
stronger connection with my faith, because I believe in Jesus Christ, and
knowing his Mother appeared to Rue De Bac, and giving Catherine Laboure a
mission, it truly shows the love and passion we should have towards our faith.
I am hoping and looking forward to learning the apparition of the chapel, and
experiencing how Catherine Larbour responded to Our Blessed Virgin Mother Mary.
I read about Catherine Laboure body being incorrupt and how the body is clean
and looks like the body was just placed in yesterday. I will expect the body to
still be like that, to show that Catherine Laboure has been Blessed.Rue De Bac

Describe the term 'marian apparition' and explain its
relationship to visiting pilgrimage sites
The word
“apparition” comes from the late Latin word apparitio which means “appearance”
or “presence.”An apparition is named when a sudden appearance of a supernatural
entity manifests itself to a human person or group. Once the apparition as
occurred, they often name the town where the event took place. I read more
about marian apparition and truth be told, marian apparitions sometimes are
reported to happen again, over an extended period of time. In the majority of
Marian apparitions only a few peoplea report having witnessed the apparition.
On 18th July 1830, Mary appeared twice like I mentioned in the last
entry. A child went up to Catherine Laboure’s bed and told her “The Blessed
Virgin is waiting for you.” Once Mary disappeared, the relationship between
Christians and the pilgrimage reinforced. People from all over Europe will
travel to this Rue De Bac, just like what I am planning on doing. Once the
apparition was approved, Christians travelled to Rue De Bac praying to
Catherine Labour body, because they realised Mary our Mother came and gave this
pilgrimage a mission. It was the mission of making and distributing the medal
of the Immaculate Conception, now known as the Miraculous Medal.
Identify
and explain the importance of the pilgrimage site to Christians
Rue De Bac is a Marian Pilgrimage in Paris, France. Before the journey to the pilgrimage site takes place, I have researched and read on a body of Catherine Laboure. Catherine Labour died on 31st December 1876. When her body was exhumed after fifty-seven years of burial, it was found to be completely incorrupt and supple. Before the death of Catherine Laboure, the apparition occurred on 18th July 1830. Proof shows that Mary appeared twice to Catherine in the chapel. The sign of when the apparition took place made Christians have a stronger faith. Our Blessed Virgin Mary waited for Catherine in the Cathedral. Mary said “God wishes to charge you with a mission.” When Mary disappeared, the media knew about what happened that late night. People all around Europe came to see this miracle. Just like how I am planning on travelling to the site. People’s faiths were being reinforced since the apparition took place. Therefore this pilgrimage site is important to Christians because Rue De Bac is an approved appearance and Christians would go to Catherine Laboure’s body for healings to take place.
