The Blessed Virign Mary appeared to three shepherd children- Lucia, Francisco, and Jacinta- in Fatima, Portugal, bringing a message of repentance, prayer, and conversion. Over six apparitions, she revealed urgent calls to pray the Rosary daily, to offer sacrifices for sinners, and to consecrate Russia to her Immaculate Heart.
She warned of grave consequences if mankind did not turn back to God, including war, persecution of the Church, and the loss of many souls. The Miracle of the Sun, witnessed by tens of thousands of people, confirmed the truth of Her message, which continues to be a call for faithful Catholics to embrace penance and devotion with renewed fervor.
JOIN US on the 13th of each month for a special Mass devoted to Our Lady of Fatima and for a special procession in devotion to our Blessed Mother.
The devotion of the Five First Saturdays in reparation for the offenses committed against Her Immaculate Heart. She asked the faithful to attend Mass, receive Holy Communion, pray five decades of the rosary, and meditate for 15 minutes on the Mysteries of the Rosary- all with the intention on making reparations- on the first Saturday of five consecutive months.
This devotion, given through Sister Lucia, is a means of drawing souls closer to God, consoling the Blessed Mother, and helping to bring about the triumph of Her Immaculate Heart, as promised at Fatima.
ON THE FIRST SATURDAY OF EACH MONTH, HERE AT ST. JOSEPH'S CHURCH... we celebrate Mass at 9am along with a special devotion to Our Lady of Fatima, Exposition of the Blessed Sacrament, Holy Rosary, and Benediction. Join us!
