Our Lady of Fatima

Feast Day: May 13

Patroness of Diocese of Leiria-Fatima

Our Lady appeared six times in 1917 to 3 small children in the village of Fatima in Portugal. She asked the children to pray the rosary and devote their lives to the Holy Trinity to “bring peace to the world and end the war”. While many doubted what the children proclaimed, an estimated 70,000 people saw the sun dance throughout the sky, changing size and shape, only return to its place in the sky.
