What Is La Salette About?
Before the apparition of the Blessed Virgin Mary, La Salette was just a small village buried in the Alps of Southeastern France near Grenoble.
On the 19th day of September of the year 1846 (166 years ago), the Blessed Virgin Mary appeared to two young children named Maximin Giraud, age 11 and Melanie Calvat, age 14. They had just finished their lunch and had gone to check on the cows. They were about to return to the place where they ate their lunch when they saw a brilliant ball of light, more brilliant than that of the sun. As the ball of light unfolded, it revealed a "beautiful lady" seated on a large rock, weeping.They were soon to find out that she was saddened by the sins of the world that makes her son's hand heavier that may be the cause of her letting go of it. Now unfolds the story of Our Lady of La Salette.
The Missionary was built to promote the Reconciliation of mankind. To repent for their sins and start a new life with God as its center.
