Examination of evidence and report to the Most Reverend James Whitfield, D.D., Archbishop of Baltimore. . . upon the Miraculous Restoration of Mrs. Ann Mattingly

In 1824, a small group of Catholics, led by Stephen Dubuisson, S.J., from Holy Trinity Catholic Church in Washington, fervently prayed for the cure of Ann Mattingly, the sister of Washington mayor Thomas Carbery, who was dying of cancer.  They timed their devotions to coincide with a Mass said by a German Catholic priest, who purportedly cured blindness and other infirmities. This invocation achieved its intended result, as she woke up without any sign of her cancer. Protestants and Catholics alike questioned the power of devotions. This publication brought together key documents and testimony about the Mattingly miracle.
