My wife, Carol and I live about 15 minutes from the Padre Pio Spirituality Centre located in Barto, Pennsylvania, U.S.A. On Thursday, May 19, 2005, we went to the Centre to venerate the life size Missionary Image of Our Lady of Guadalupe which was on display. About 5 o’clock in the afternoon, Carol suggested that we go into Our Lady of Grace Chapel to take pictures of Our Lady of Fatima statue which was loaned to the Centre for the month of May. The statue is owned by Larry and Dotty Concio. I took several pictures of the statue from different positions using a Pentax 35mm zoom camera. These two pictures were taken one or two seconds apart, as soon as the film advanced in my camera I took the second picture without changing any settings on the camera. One photo shows exactly how the statue appears. In the other photo, the statue’s face has life-like features and the entire photo has a gold tint. We want to share this picture with all who are interested.

Photographs taken by Bernie Piasecki on May 19, 2005.

The statue will be loaned to the Padre Pio Spirituality Centre in Barto, Pennsylvania during the month of May, 2006. These photos will be available.
