Celebrating 100 Years of Fatima!

On May 13, 1917, the Mother of God appeared to three peasant children in Fatima, Portugal.  She made five consecutive appearances to them on the 13th of the next five months, and Her last appearance was a worldwide, historical event, as recorded by media from around the world.  Her messages to the children are known as “The Peace Plan From Heaven”, which always included the need for conversion, prayer, and penance by all. 

“If what I tell you is done, many sinners will be converted and there will be peace.  …Pray, pray a great deal and make sacrifices for sinners, for many souls go to Hell because they have no one to pray and make sacrifices for them…”

On July 13, 1917, the Blessed Mother promised a great miracle on October 13th, “…so that all may believe…”  With nearly 100,000 people in attendance in Fatima on October 13, 1917 the “Miracle of the Sun” occurred, and witnesses included atheist news reporters who acknowledged it as a miracle in the Portuguese press.1  After many years of research, the Catholic Church approved these apparitions in 1930.

we will offer a Holy Hour on the 13th of every month, except as noted*.
