Special Day

As the sun rose on a new day, pilgrims from around the world gathered for 100th Anniversary celebrations of the First Apparation at Fatima.

Anticipation grew the procession with the statue of the Virgin Mary neared the outdoor chapel.

Then as Mass, led by Pope Francis, began, we were privileged to witness the canonization of two children, Jacinta and Fransisco Marto, 100 years after the event that brought them fame. While St. Jacinta and St. Fransisco were only 9 and 10 years old respectively at the time of their deaths, their faith has inspired many.
