WORLD-FAMOUS FATIMA STATUE COMING

TO ST. GABRIEL THE ARCHANGEL PARISH

The world -famous International Pilgrim Virgin Statue of Our Lady of Fatima, which has been traveling for 75 years, will be at St Gabriel Church beginning at 7:30 AM on Friday, May 5^th 2023 to 9 AM Saturday May 6^th.

On the 75th anniversary year the mission of the Pilgrim Virgin Statue of Fatima continues the same, to bring the message of Fatima – the Peace Plan of Heaven – to a world in need. Our Lord told Sister Lucia, the oldest of the three seers at Fatima, that he had entrusted the peace of the world to the Immaculate Heart.

The International Pilgrim Virgin Statue has visited more than 100 countries, including Russia and China, bringing Mary’s powerful message of salvation and hope to millions of people. Countless favors and graces have been reported wherever the Virgin Statue has traveled.

We hope you will come and experience the blessings of Our Lady during this special statue visitation, sponsored by the World Apostolate of Fatima, USA – Our Lady’s Blue Army. (www.bluearmy.com). There will be time for private, quiet veneration and also devotions throughout the day(s).
