Our Lady of Fatima

Explore the message of Fatima below, or discover how families honor the Sacred Heart of Jesus and the Immaculate Heart of Mary through Home Enthronement.

For us, the path toward living in the Divine Will began with a daily Rosary. Praying together gave us time each day to look at the life of Jesus with Mary. We invite you to begin wherever you are, even with one decade at the kitchen table.

Living the message of Fatima

The Rosary, prayer, and penance. Pray the Rosary for peace and for the conversion of sinners. When a duty costs you something, you can offer that sacrifice to God in love and in reparation for sin.

The Five First Saturdays. On five consecutive first Saturdays, receive Holy Communion, pray five decades of the Rosary, and spend another fifteen minutes with Mary meditating on its mysteries. Confession is also part of the devotion. Undertake these practices in reparation to her Immaculate Heart. Read WAF’s First Saturday guide.

Marian consecration and the Brown Scapular. In consecrating yourself to Mary, you entrust yourself to her motherly care so that she may lead you closer to Jesus. Wearing the Brown Scapular of Mount Carmel is a daily reminder of that commitment. Ask your parish priest about investiture, the rite of enrollment.

The Pilgrim Virgin Statue

Welcoming the statue gives a family an occasion to gather for prayer. Our own statue came from Fatima. Of all the places we have traveled with her, family homes mean the most to us.

We are members of the World Apostolate of Fatima (WAF) and follow its methods and publications. To ask about a local statue visit or how to begin a Pilgrim Virgin ministry in your parish, find your WAF diocesan contact. You can also join the World Apostolate of Fatima.
