The Message of Fatima spread throughout the world after World War II largely through the Pilgrim Virgin Statue tours which began in 1947 from Fatima. Their purpose then, as today, is to bring the graces of Fatima and Our Lady’s message of hope, peace and salvation to those many thousands of people who may never have an opportunity to make a pilgrimage to Fatima itself. The World Apostolate of Fatima, USA, Inc., was founded in 1947 as The Blue Army brings “Our Lady of Fatima” to the Northeast Kingdom. It will arrive at Our Lady of Fatima on Saturday, June 26th, at 5:00 PM, for the 6:00 PM Mass. There will be a special rosary said prior to the Mass at 5:30 PM. After Mass the statue will go to St. Norbert’s for the week of June 27 – July 3. On July 3rd prior to the 4:00 PM Mass there will also be a special rosary.
