Miraculous 17 photo -- Polaroid

Big 17

Sensational photo taken by Vincent McDonnell, Vigil Coordinator at the end of the Sept. 7, 2002 Rosary Vigil celebrating Our Lady’s Birthday.

Vince was taking a picture of Our Lady’s statue flanked by Shrine guard, Frank Gibney and SMWA President, Michael Mangan, lay Order of St. Michael. Amazingly, a big 17 appears instead.

Interestingly, 1/7 or January 7, 1998 is the date on our official documentation that shows when the Order of St. Michael was founded. Our Lady, of course, prophesied in 1974 that from the lay Order of St. Michael will emerge the full-fledged religious Order of St. Michael.

Also, Heaven may be pointing to the 17th chapter of the Apocalypse which perhaps is ready to unfold in a dramatic way. Or will something pivotal or historical occur on the 17th of any month? This month? Next month? We’ll see.
