This special event is a response from Fatima to Our Lord’s request that reparation for the sins of mankind be made to His Sacred Heart and the Immaculate Heart. This event is rich with Catholic traditions and prayers: Mass, Adoration, Rosary, Chaplet, Eucharistic and Marian processions! Come join us for prayer; come get immersed into the Love of Jesus and Mary. Share this event with your family and friends. World Apostolate of Fatima, USA - Our Lady’s Blue Army
