What is the Message of Fatima
The Blessed Virgin Mary appeared to three young Portuguese children six times beginning May 13, 1917, through October 13, 1917. What did our Blessed Mother say to these three young children and how does her message still pertain to us in 2022?
To discover the beauty of the Blessed Mother's message, please join speaker Deacon Jerry Kohrman on Thursday, May 12, in the parish hall following 6 pm Mass.
