Our Lady of America

[pjn6444]

Is Our Lady of America approved by the Vatican? I am speaking specifically about Our Lady of America who appeared to a nun in the 1950's, not Our Lady of Guadeloupe who is Emperess of the Americas. I was on the website about Our Lady of America. It spoke of approval, but it included a letter from a bishop, but not anything by the pope or the Vatican. Does anyone know if this is a fully approved appearance of the Blessed Virgin, and if devotion to Our Lady of America is approved.

For reference here is the webpage.

Hmmmmm......another one of those "private revelations". With no mention of Papal approval, I'd be cautious. (opinion)

Approved by the Archbishops

I knew the Archbishop had approved of it. I was not sure if Papal approval was needed, and if so if it had been granted.

I would ask Fr. Serpa, maybe even send him a private message (if that's permitted) and check to see if it needs Papal approval. Just my
