“The Appeals of Our Lady” exhibit is a traveling display on loan from Spirit Catholic Radio. It features 20 panels that highlight Marian apparitions that have taken place around the world. The display was designed and created by Blessed Carlo Acutis (1991-2006), who is scheduled to be canonized April 27.
Acutis, an artist, cartoonist and avid computer enthusiast, began the creation of the art for the panels before his death from leukemia at age 15. In 2014, after his death, the exhibit was completed and dedicated to the Virgin Mary.
The exhibit is presented in the United States by the Carlo Acutis Association. All the apparitions displayed in the exhibition have been recognized by their local bishops. The display’s purpose is to increase the faith of people on earth through awareness of the miracles of Marian apparitions.
