NATIONAL PILGRIM VIRGIN STATUE VISITS ST . THOMAS MORE CHURCH
On Oct . 13 , 1917 , God worked a spectacular miracle in Fatima , Portugal , to prove Our Blessed Lady was appearing to three little shepherd children with an important message for our time . This miracle took place in front of 70,000 people including newspaper reporters , all of whom testified that it actually happened . Two leading secular newspapers of Portugal gave complete accounts of the miracle as witnessed by their reporters . The History Channel on television described this as a verified authentic mysterious historical event .
On Nov . 18 , 2016 , the World Apostolate of Fatima , Our Lady ’ s Blue Army , is bringing to the parish the National Pilgrim Virgin Statue of the USA . This beautiful Image of Our Lady of Fatima was blessed by Blessed Pope Paul VI and given to our country by the Bishop of Fatima to carry the important message of Fatima to the United States . It is a message St . Pope John Paul II said is more important today than ever !
All are invited and encouraged to come and see this beautiful Statue of Our Lady of Fatima and learn Our Lady ’ s message for obtaining peace and putting an end to moral corruption afflicting our country .
