Peace and greetings,

Thank you for writing to us regarding the Apparitions of Jesus and Mary
web page.  Unfortunately, due to some lack of resources and time we are
unable to reply directly to your e-mail.

This document is broken into four parts:

   - Apar-l List
   - Questions dealing with apparitions or spiritual discernment
   - Adding a seer to the Apparitions of Jesus and Mary (AJM) web page
   - Updating approval codes on the AJM web page

If you have a particular question, please refer to the appropriate section
below.  You may prefer to read the entire document.  If you still feel you
need to contact me, please send me e-mail without the word apparition in
it.  If you leave the word apparition in your e-mail my mailer will
automatically send you this replay again.

Please continue to pray for us and our families.

May God Bless you in all you do for Him!

Apar-l List
-----------
The Apar-l list is no longer active.  It was closed on January 31, 1997.
However, there are a few replacements for the Apar-l list.  They include
the Apparitions of Jesus and Mary web page:
   http://web.frontier.net/Apparitions

and Bud MacFarlane's Catholicity lists (detailed instructions on how to
subscribe appear below).

Since the Apar-l list was started, May 1994, there have been many good
postings sent to the list.  Remember, the Apar-l archives will still be
available.  Feel free to search the archives or retrieve files from the
Apar-l filelist.  There are excellent directions on how to search a
listserv discussion list stored on the web at:
   http://www.ualberta.ca/~pletendr/database.html

Questions with Apparitions
--------------------------

If you have questions on apparitions or spiritual discernment, then I am
not the person to ask.  I recommend that you forward your question to
CatholiCity's Crosstalk e-mail Discussion Groups.  Both the Marian Group
and the 'Messages from Heaven' Group have hundreds of people subscribed
from around the world who should be able to answer your questions. You can
subscribe on the World Wide Web by going to:

If you do not have access to the World Wide Web, you can subscribe
directly via e-mail by following the directions below.

Adding Seers to the Apparitions of Jesus and Mary web page
----------------------------------------------------------
At this time, we are not adding seers to the AJM web page. However, we ask
that you do write to us again after August 1, 1998.  By then, we're hoping
to have all the requests we currently have, along with major updates
complete.

If you are requesting that a seer be added to the AJM web page, after
August 1, 1998 you will need to provide the following:

   Name of seer
   Location
   Dates of apparitions/locutions
   Church Status

Additionally, if the site is not approved by the Catholic Church, we will
need a letter from the seer's local bishop. If you cannot obtain a letter
from the seer's bishop, then we will need the following information:

   Name of diocese
   Bishop's Name
   Address
   City, State, Zip, Country

Update Approval Codes
---------------------
If you have a question about the approval code for a particular visionary
or apparition site, either write to one of Bud's Catholicity lists above
to see if somebody on the list can help you, or please wait until after
August 1, 1998 to see if it changes on the AJM web page.  If after August
1, you feel the approval code does not adequately reflect the status of
the site, please feel free to write to us.  Like I said we are in the
process of updating the AJM web page.

Thank you for your patience and understanding.  May the peace of Jesus
Christ and the love of our blessed mother be with you always!
