The Sodality heartily invites parishioners to bring our petitions for the intercession of Mary, under her title Our Lady of Fatima, in a Novena from May 4 through May 12. A Novena is a nine-day period of prayer to obtain special graces. The feast day of Our Lady of Fatima is May 13. A suggested Novena prayer is located here.
Through the intercession of Mary, many miracles, prophecies, and prayers that amazed the world have been experienced, heard, and answered at Fatima. The story of Our Lady's apparition to three shepherd children during World War I can be found here.
In our own time, we can appeal to Mary to pray for peace in our world, our communities, and our families.
