Fatima Message

Our Lady of Fatima gave us 3 tasks to bring peace to our world:

1. Be sorry for what we've done wrong; put God first in our lives.
2. Pray the Rosary each day for peace.
3. Make sacrifices for sinners so they will know and love God.

O Mary, our hope and our joy, help us to pray with you for peace in the world. Unite all children with your Immaculate Heart. Make us strong in praying for those who have no one to pray for them. Keep us always close to the Sacred Heart of your Son, Jesus Christ. Amen.

Fatima Timeline

To help us understand the Fatima story, parishioner Claudia Williams outlined a timeline of events that starts in 1916 and ends in 1929. Bring the details into focus with the Timeline of Fatima Apparitions.

Pray the Rosary

The one thing Our Lady requested at each of the six apparitions at Fatima was for the children to pray the Rosary every day. If you are new to saying the Rosary, or if it's been a while and you would like a refresher, we invite you to learn how to pray the Rosary.

Fatima Prayers

When the Angel of Peace appeared to the shepherd children during the summer of 1916, he said to them, "Pray! Pray a great deal!" Learn the prayers taught to the children by the Angel and by Our Lady.

First Saturday Devotionals

Our Lady appeared to Sister Lucia on December 10, 1925. She came to request Communion of Reparation on First Saturdays, commonly known as "First Saturday Devotionals". During the apparition, Our Lady described in detail the devotion which was to be practiced every first Saturday for five consecutive months with the intention of making reparation for offenses committed against the Sacred Heart of Jesus and the Immaculate Heart of Mary. Learn the history and how to fulfill First Saturday Devotionals.

Fatima Story

Watch our special 2-part video presentation by Claudia Williams, a longtime parishioner at Our Lady of Fatima.

PART I
Learn about the events that occurred in Fatima, Portugal during the 1917 visit by Our Lady to three young shepherd children. What did the Virgin Mary say to them? What was the Miracle of the Sun? What does Our Lady expect of us now in our time?

PART II
Hear about the prophetic word spoken by Our Lady during the apparitions of 1917. Presentation covers major events of the 20th century, the Three Secrets of Fatima, the pivotal role of John Paul II and what Fatima means for us today.

Inspired by the message of Our Lady of Fatima, Msgr. Harold V. Colgan and John M. Haffert founded the Blue Army of Our Lady, now the World Apostolate of Fatima, in 1947. Haffert enlisted the help of Sr. Lucia, the last surviving Fatima visionary, to understand Mary's requests to establish peace in the world and spread the devotion to her Immaculate Heart. Today, The World Apostolate of Fatima is the Vatican's official voice in proclaiming the authentic message of Our Lady of Fatima.

Read documents from the Vatican Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith which reveal Our Lady's message in the third part of the "secret" of Fatima. Read a letter by Saint John Paul II, addressed to us all, about Our Lady of Fatima and Sr. Lucia.
