Medjugorje: Priests Dream of Virgin Mary leads to new religious community

In 2004, Father Michael Sevigny [a Capuchin Franciscan for over 40 years]  had just finished leading a group of pilgrims in Medjugorje when he had a dream in which he saw Mary holding a blue scapular -- a long outer garment worn by religious.

"When I got up in the morning, I knew that something distinct had happened internally," he said.
The priest said he returned to America reflecting on the dream and seeking spiritual direction.
