A Pastoral Letter to All Priests, Deacons, Seminarians, Religious Women and Men, and All Lay Faithful
August 26, 2019
Dear Friends in Christ,
On August 8, 2019, the Catholic Diocese of Fort Worth issued a statement regarding alleged apparitions, messages and miracles of the Blessed Virgin Mary, under a title of “Mystical Rose-Our Lady of Argyle,” purported through social media and websites to be occurring at Saint Mark Parish in Denton/Argyle, Texas.

A group associated with the woman, the “Dry Bones Ministry,” was at the house for Eucharistic adoration from 11 p.m. to midnight on the evening of July 27, 2019. Loreto House administrators reported that during the time of adoration, the woman claimed to experience an apparition that included rose petals “falling” from a book she was using to “record” words from the Blessed Virgin Mary. ...
