From that it looks like

Nineteen Hundred

But I can't parse it.

Thanx mamylynne me neither looked up lourdes and fatima but no tie in observed
In Roman numerals that is MCM, initials of Millennium, Christ and Mother, perhaps?
About all I can see too JD.

Thanx to you both guess I wil run with 1900 thanx again.
Looks like Jackdaw was right with Roman numerals. M=Millennium, (C)hrist's (M)other initially. CMM. = Nineteen hundred, millennium year?
There's the rub; 1900 was a centennial not a millennium year. I wonder if the clue has been reproduced exactly as printed.
Without being unkind I often struggle to fully parse RTE clues - yes of course MCM = 1900 but as said it was not a millennium year.
You could say - Christ initially 'C' appears in 'MM' a Millennium year but then we don't have 'Mother'
