From May to October 1917, the Mother of God appeared to three shepherd children in Fatima, Portugal, and gave them a peace plan from Heaven. In honor of the100th anniversary of these apparitions, the International Pilgrim Virgin Statue of Fatima is touring the United States and is coming to our diocese. Hundreds of favors and graces, including cures, and countless conversions are associated with the image. Come hear the story of Fatima and experience the presence of Our Lady. Bring to her all your sufferings, for she promised, “My Immaculate Heart will be your refuge and the way that will lead you to God.”
