We will have our annual celebration of the Blessed Mother's final appearance at Fatima in 1917 on Saturday, October 12, the eve of the day of her apparition. We will begin with a special Mass at 6:30 p.m., celebrated and preached by Father Manuel Ferreira, a retired priest of the Diocese of Fall River and former administrator of Holy Ghost Parish. After the Mass we will have a candlelight procession with the statue of Our Lady of Fatima around the neighborhood as we pray the Rosary. You may bring our own candles or obtain them at church. After the procession we will have Benediction in church and then refreshments will be served downstairs. Please come and invite your friends.
