From New York Post (tabloid):
While most 4-year-olds were speaking to Elmo, Lil’ Dominic Auricchio was talking to the man upstairs.
“I had a dream and God came to me,” the now 13-year-old recalled to The Post. “He told me to be a priest, and then I went into my mom’s bedroom . . . it was the middle of the night . . . and ever since then I’ve wanted to become a priest,” he said. Dominic began suffering from headaches in December 2022, and an MRI revealed a large mass on his brain. Months later, in May 2023, Dominic said the Virgin Mary appeared in his bedroom to assure him he’d recover.
