During the apparitions of Fatima, Our Lady offered a message for all humanity, asking people to have faith and draw nearer to God, for conversion of heart and for acts of reparation for the sins committed against the Immaculate Heart of Mary. Her message is an appeal for peace and hope.
The mission of The World Apostolate of Fatima is to help people learn, live and spread the Message of Our Lady of Fatima.
The World Apostolate of Fatima is a pontifical association of the faithful under the Pontifical Council for the Laity, and speaks with ecclesiastical authority on the message of Hope received at Fatima in 1917. A message to help people bring God back into their lives and cultures, achieve eternal salvation, and bring about peace.
In addition to the presentations, there will be recitation of the rosary and the Divine Mercy Chaplet, reconciliation and daily Mass.
