The International Pilgrim Virgin Statue of Fatima is coming to the Diocese of Saginaw — and everyone is invited to make a pilgrimage to see this world-renowned statue and spend time in prayer.
Monday, July 27, 2026
Ss. Francis and Clare Parish, Birch Run 12157 Church Street
Schedule: 8–8:45 a.m. — Confession
9 a.m. — Holy Mass
After Mass until 1 p.m. — Exposition of the Blessed Sacrament, Rosary recitation and private prayer.
The statue, which carries the message of Our Lady of Fatima, has traveled to more than 100 countries since beginning its worldwide tour in 1947. This special visit to Birch Run will be the statue’s final stop during the “Fatima Tour for Peace” in Michigan.
Our Lady of Fatima’s message remains as important today as it was in 1917: pray for peace.
“Turn on the TV—there’s no peace … we still need that message of peace,” said Father David Jenuwine, pastor of Ss. Francis and Clare Parish.
Come to Birch Run to pray the Rosary, spend time with Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament, receive the Eucharist and ask Our Lady’s intercession for peace in our world.
Make plans now to join this unique opportunity for prayer. Bring your family. Invite a friend. Pray for peace.
