5^ APPARITION
Date: Wednesday 17th May 1944
Time: 18:00
Attendance: About 3000 people
Vision: the Blessed Virgin Mary with eight angels
That day was the last time that Adelaide attended the primary school of Ghiaie di Bonate. She was questioned by her teacher about the apparitions and her story sounded convincing. When back home, Adelaide was taken to her room by her mother who asked her weeping about the truth on the apparitions. Adelaide confirmed once again.

From Adelaide's diary:
"When the usual time came, I went to the place of the apparitions. The two doves preceded the bright spot and Our Lady showed herself dressed in red; she also wore a green mantle with a long trail. Around the three light circles there were eight angels alternatively dressed in blue and pink, all below Our Lady's elbows, arranged in a semicircle. As soon as I saw Our Lady she spoke to me right away and confided a secret reserved to the Bishop and the Pope using these words: “Tell the Bishop and the Pope the secret I am confiding to you … I advise you to do what you are told, but do not tell this to anyone else”. Then She slowly disappeared.".

Three days later, on the 20th May, Adelaide was taken to the Bishop's for revealing the secret. What was so important in the secret for the Bishop to go to Gandino on purpose, towards half June 1944, where the young girl was at the time, to have it repeated to himself? Adelaide was also taken to Rome in 1949 and was granted a private audience by Pope Pius XII to whom she confided the secret Our Lady had revealed on the 17th May 1944.
