St. Bernadette Soubirous

• Bernadette had 18 apparitions of the "Mother of God" which started on February 11, 1858

• The Mother of God confirmed the dogma (church doctrine which is not to be disputed or doubted) of the Immaculate Conception

• The Immaculate Conception is church doctrine that the Virgin Mary was born without Original Sin

• Four humans were born without Original Sin: Jesus, the Virgin Mary, Adam, and Eve

• Four years earlier, Pope Pius IX had raised the Immaculate Conception to the dignity of a dogma of the infallible Church

• The Mother of God also promised Bernadette that she would not be happy in this world, but in the next

• St. Bernadette's body was exhumed after 30 years and was found incorrupt

Saint Anthony Chapel has a second-class relic of the habit of St. Bernadette
