Bronx Marian apparitions

Marian apparitions

The Bronx Marian apparitions were a series of 1945 Marian apparitions seen by Joseph Vitolo, a 9-year-old boy, in the Concourse neighborhood of The Bronx. The apparitions took place from October 29 to November 14 of that year. The apparitions drew wide interest at the time, concluding with up to 30,000 people attending the final night's vigil. Interest in the event waned over time, though Vitolo still prayed nightly at a shrine founded on the apparition site. The shrine still exists today. The Catholic Church has never taken a stand on the validity of the events.
