At night, Jeanne and Gabriel Laxart entered the church and prayed near the altar, close to a statue of Saint Catherine near the altar.

Days later, on 7 March, Gabriel and Jean de Metz returned to the village to retrieve a sword that Jeanne's "voices" said belonged to her. Pressed by de Metz, Gabriel admitted to feeling a pull towards the statue, to which de Metz remarked that Jeanne's instructions to locate the sword mentioned that they would need to dig beneath the statue to find it. The next day, the sword was unearthed and Father Michel unveiled it to Gabriel and de Metz before it was sent to be meticulously cleaned.[3]
