Conchita de Garabandal

Garabandal, Spain · 1945-present

The main visionary of the Garabandal apparitions, Maria Conchita Gonzalez, was the last to receive messages from the Virgin.

His life

Maria Conchita Gonzalez was born on February 7, 1945, in Garabandal, a small village in Cantabria, Spain. At the age of 12, along with three other girls, she began to see the Virgin Mary.

The apparitions

Between 1961 and 1965, Conchita received more than 2,000 apparitions of the Virgin Mary and multiple visions of Saint Michael the Archangel. The Virgin entrusted her with two secrets: one that would be revealed before the Miracle and another that would be fulfilled afterward.

The Foretold Miracle

The Virgin Mary promised that a great miracle would occur, visible to all those present in Garabandal. Conchita has declared that the miracle will take place on a Thursday between April 8th and March 16th, coinciding with a Church event. She will announce the date eight days in advance.

His current life

Conchita lives in New York with her family. She maintains a discreet life and continues to affirm the authenticity of the apparitions. She has declared: "I know that what I saw is real. The Virgin loves us and wants us to convert."
