Month-long Marian exhibition at SIC

PETALING JAYA: A month-long Marian Exhibition with the Theme Mother Mary is in the Heart of Every Disciple will be held at St Ignatius Church (SIC) to honour our Blessed Mother and in conjunction with the 100th Anniversary of the Apparition at Fatima.

The Exhibition showcases The Life of Mother Mary, the four Marian Dogmas, the nine approved Marian Apparitions and three unverified apparitions.

The former occurred at Guadalupe, Mexico (1531), Rue du Bac, Paris (1830), La Salette, France (1846), Lourdes, France (1858), Pontmain, France (1871), Knock, Ireland (1879), Fatima, Portugal (1917), Beauraing, Belgium (1932-1933), and Banneux, Belgium (1933).

Also highlighted are the three unverified apparitions of Velankanni, India (16th–17th Century), Lavang, Vietnam (1798) and Akita, Japan (1973).

The organisers hope that visiting the Marian Exhibition will bring about a clearer understanding and a deeper appreciation of Mother Mary and the role that she plays in the life of the Church.

Those visiting from outstation or in groups may request a special viewing of the Exhibition at their convenience. This is available from Monday to Friday. Please call the Parish Office (03-78033512) for enquiry and booking.
