We continue to prepare for the Cathedral Visitations to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the First Five Saturday Devotion of Reparation throughout England and Wales. The first visit will take place on the 3rd May 2025 when we visit St Joseph’s Cathedral, Swansea, in the Archdiocese of Cardiff-Menevia, Wales. We will then visit a further 13 Cathedrals in 2025, with the remaining Cathedral visits being concluded by 31 Oct 2026 when we visit the Metropolitan Cathedral of The Most Precious Blood at Westminster. You can see details of these Visitations, here ... In addition, we will be visiting local parishes and hope that you will be able to join us in our pilgrimage of Hope around England and Wales. The purpose of the World Apostolate of Fatima is help spread the message of Fatima and follow in the footsteps of Sister Lucia and her cousins, in helping to restore the centrality of God in our lives. Please help us in our journey of Faith and join us for the Cathedral and Parish visits. If you would like to arrange a visit to your parish, please send us a message Ave Maria!
This month we celebrate the feast day of Saints Francisco and Jacinta on the 20th February. Two of the three shepherd children, Jacinta and Francisco, lived short but heroic lives and dedicated themselves in service to God’s Will and the message of Hope emanating from Fatima. It is also important to remember the calling of the three little shepherds from Fatima, whose lives were transformed by their service, sacrifice and acts of reparation to the Sacred Heart of Jesus and the Immaculate Heart of Mary. They were chosen to reveal to the world God's message of Hope, heaven's peace plan, to a world that was turning away from God. This message is still so relevant today and that is why it’s important to recognise the signs of the times in our day and the power of prayer in our lives. Our Lady gave us the Rosary through St Dominic, and in Fatima asked the children to pray the Rosary every day. She also said that Jesus wants her to be known and loved throughout the world and we can help to do this through the First Five Saturday devotion of Reparation.
