JOIN US IN PRAYING THE HOLY ROSARY

Saturday | October 15th | 12 Noon | St. Thomas Parking Lot

America Needs Fatima is a campaign to capture the heart and soul

of America with the Message of Our Lady of Fatima.  In 1917,

Our Lady appeared at Fatima to three young seers with a message of warning and hope for humanity. If the world did not convert, there would

be much suffering, famine and war. To avert such disasters, Our Lady

asked for prayer, penance and other measures. She also promised,

"Finally, my Immaculate Heart will triumph."
