The National Pilgrim Statue of
Our Lady of Fatima
is coming to Holy Angels Catholic
Friday, September 11th from 12 noon – 6:00 p.m.
_____________________________________________________________
The statue of Our Lady of Fatima will be in place in the church
prior to the noon Mass.
The World Apostolate of Fatima has a pilgrimage program in the
United States that promotes the message of Fatima. They have a
statue of Our Lady of Fatima that will be brought to Memphis for
a 21 day, diocesan-approved tour by Statue Custodian,
Bill Sockey. This beautiful image of Our Lady of Fatima was
blessed by Pope Paul VI in 1967 and given to our country by the
Bishop of Fatima to carry the important message of Fatima to the
United States. It is a message Pope John Paul II said is more
important today than ever. She was crowned by Cardinal O’Boyle
at the National Basilica in Washington, D.C. in 1971.
This special statue has been traveling throughout our country for
almost 50 years under the sponsorship of the WAF USA. She has
proven time and again to be the catalyst for renewed interest in
the message of Fatima and for exposing new generations of
Catholics who are unaware of the important message of
conversion and peace brought by Our Lady to the three shepherd
children in 1917 at Fatima, Portugal.
Many graces and miracles have been attributed to this statue. Our
Lady brings hope and peace to people’s hearts, answers many
prayers and is a conduit of grace leading to many conversions. For
the many thousands of people who may never make a pilgrimage
to the grotto in Fatima, this is an opportunity to hear Fatima’s
message of hope and peace. It is a great honor to have her in
our midst and Father Stellini will be consecrating Holy Angels to
the Immaculate Heart of Our Lady of Fatima during this special
visit.
All are invited and encouraged to come see this beautiful Statue
of Our Lady of Fatima and learn Our Lady’s message for
obtaining peace and putting an end to abortion and the moral
corruption that if afflicting our country today.
The Statue Custodian will explain how the message of Fatima
applies to our country today and discuss what we can do to earn
the blessings on our country that Our Lady promised if her
requests are fulfilled.
