YEAR OF SACRAMENTS
We do not go to God one by one. God has decided to gather us as his holy people in the Church, which is the Body of Christ. When we celebrate the sacraments, we do so as God's Church. Even though our experience may be deeply, deeply personal, for example, when we confess our sins and receive forgiveness or feel the presence of Jesus in Holy Communion, our experience is never just ours alone. We are all a part of the Body of Christ, joined and built up together.
If God has decided to gather us as his people in the Church, then we are called to join that gathering. When we come together, for example, to celebrate the sacraments and worship God, we do so with generous and willing hearts. We support each other, pray for each other, and encourage each other. We also accept in faith the sacramental rituals and prayers entrusted to the Church.
-Pope Francis's Vision of Healing and Communion

The Miraculous Our Lady of Aparecida (Our Lady of Conception Who Appeared)- She was found (body and head separated) or "appeared" to 3 fishermen who did not catch any fish while fishing in the river in October 1717. She's dark-skinned, was made of clay, and less than 3 feet-tall. They caught a lot of fish after they found Our Lady. In May 1978, an intruder stole the clay statue from its shrine at the Basilica of Our Lady of Aparecida where she was housed and broke it to pieces. Craftsmen painstakingly made the statue whole again. She's the patron of expectant mothers, newborn children, rivers and sea, gold, honey and beauty. She is the Patroness of Brazil - her Feast Day is October 12 and a National Holiday.
