WORLD APOSTOLATE OF FATIMA - On 13 October 1917, God worked a spectacular miracle of the sun in Fatima, Portugal to prove that our Blessed Lady was appearing to the three little shepherd children, Jacinta, Francisco, and Lucia, with an important message for our time. This miracle was witnessed by some 70,000 people including government officials and newspaper reporters, all of whom testified that it happened. On the weekend of 5 th /6 th September the World Apostolate of Fatima (England and Wales) is bringing to our parish the National Pilgrim Virgin Statue, as approved by the Archbishop of Cardiff Menevia. This beautiful statue of Our Lady of Fatima was blessed by Pope St Paul VI and given to our country by the Bishop of Fatima in 1968 to commemorate the Golden Jubilee of the apparitions and to make known the important message of Fatima. Pope St John Paul II said the Fatima message “is the true Gospel of Christ presented anew to our generation… Let us receive the light that comes from Fatima, let us be guided by Mary.” All are invited and encouraged to come and see this beautiful National Pilgrim Virgin Statue of Our Lady of Fatima, with the Relics of Saints Jacinta and Francisco.
