The Visionaries
The Scottsdale apparitions began at St. Maria Goretti Parish, in Scottsdale, Arizona, a suburb of Phoenix, in the late summer of 1988.
Nine young people approached their pastor, Fr. Spaulding, separately and told him they were hearing voices. They ranged in ages from 19 to 31. Some began to receive extensive messages and Fr. Spaulding had them write them down. He examined the messages and became positive about them. Shortly thereafter Fr. Spaulding began to receive messages also, and to hear voices of encouragement.
A prayer group of the young people was formed. Our Lady gave them encouragement and advice in her messages, and Our Lord gives a lesson each week for the group to meditate on. Each lesson is on a basic subject, like humility, compassion, pity, and greed.
The extent of the apparitions varies among the visionaries. Fr. Spaulding and Gianna Talone Sullivan have received the most apparitions. Gianna has moved to Emmitsburg, Maryland under the call of Our Lady and receives lessons from Our Lord each week for a prayer group there. Fr. Spaulding has been transferred to St. Thomas the Apostle Church in Phoenix, AZ as of July 1, 1996. It is not known to this author whether Fr. Spaulding continues to receive apparitions. Since his transfer, no new messages have been received for posting on this web site. Many people attend the prayer groups in Emmitsburg and Scottsdale.
The
Messages
The messages from Scottsdale have been published in a series of books under the title "I AM Your Jesus of Mercy". There are currently four volumes, the first three were published by the Riehle Foundation and the fourth by Queenship publishing. They contain the lessons of Our Lord and messages from Our Lady. Other literature also exists about these events. A more comprehensive literature listing is available here.

Lessons from Our Lord from both Scottsdale and Emmitsburg appear each week on APAR-L when they are available. When they do not appear it is because Fr. Spaulding or Gianna are away from their parishes and can't give the messages to their prayer groups or in Scottsdale because the secretary is gone.
