“I want to meet everyone at the feet of the Virgin Mother.” – Holy Father Pope Francis
Come celebrate a special mass tomorrow (Saturday, 13 May) at 8.00 am for the 100th anniversary of Our Lady’s apparition in Fatima to three shepherd children at Cova da Iria.
Though we may not be at the site of the actual apparition, we surely can be honouring Mother Mary and being in solidarity with the Pope and the whole Church here in SFX.
The Pope is on a pilgrimage to Fatima 12-13 May with the motto: “With Mary, a pilgrim in hope and in peace.”
Also in the evening: 5.05 Rosary, 5.30pm Novena, 6.30pm Sunset Mass.
See Pope Francis’ video-message to the people of Portugal ahead of his historic visit to Fatima, to mark the 100th anniversary of the Blessed Virgin Mary’s apparitions.
