The official plaque reads: "On 21st August 1879, fifteen people of varying ages witnessed, over a period of two hours, the apparition of Our Lady, St. Joseph and St. John the Evangelist on the gable of the church.
"In the center of the gable was a plain altar on which stood a lamb. Behind the lamb a large cross stood upright.
"Angels hovered around the lamb for the duration of the apparition which was enveloped in a heavenly light.
"Two official Church Commissions of Enquiry, one in 1879 and the second in 1936 found that 'the testimony of the witnesses, taken as a whole, was trustworthy and satisfactory.'"
