The Blessed Virgin Mary appeared in 1917 to three shepherd children near Fatima, Portugal. She spoke to them for several months, culminating in a miraculous vision seen by hundreds of witnesses.
Ever since then she has been invoked under the title of “Our Lady of Fatima,” as well as “Our Lady of the Rosary.”
She is known for her powerful intercession, especially for healing and strength to endure any trial.
Here is a traditional prayer to Our Lady of Fatima that many have prayed over the years for special graces from God.

And today we celebrate...
