Maria C. Saraco who speaks her Italian dialect spent the entire month of May 1986 in Italy. She went throughout
Sicily from large cities to small villages with her slide-lecture presentation. Thousands of brown scapulars,
rosaries and leaflets were given freely. Books and booklets in Italian as well were given gratis to all the priests,
nuns and lay people, who were instrumental in arranging her conferences. Maria's eye-witness account of Our Lady of
Garabandal's Message was a stunning success and was received with great joy and zeal by all.
Much gratitude must go to Mrs. Angelina Lombardi of San Cataldo where Maria was based. Angelina who is an elderly
widow, almost blind and lives alone and very simply, generously accepted Maria in her home and shared her bread
with her. Please remember Angelina in your prayers who remains steadfast in making Our Lady's messages known.
Without doubt Our Blessed Mother will reward her greatly with many graces.
While in Rome, Maria met with Father Gustavo Morelos on May 6th, and did a tape-recorded interview with him.
Father who is Mexican was ordained a priest 28 years ago. He is the founder of "The Sons of The Divine
Will." He conducted a serious 3-month study of the Garabandal Apparitions with the permission of his bishop
during his stay there in 1965. He was also a great and personal friend of Padre Pio.
Father Morelos is responsible for introducing Our Lady of Carmel of Garabandal to the entire South American
part of the world.
