The launch of the World Apostolate of Fatima's U.S. Tour for Peace is underway and coming to St. Monica!
The historic tour, marking the 100th anniversary of the apparitions of Our Lady at Fatima, Portugal, will feature the world-famous International Pilgrim Virgin Statue, traveling worldwide for nearly 70 years.
The tour runs through all 50 states and will be an extraordinary occasion of healing, hope and grace. The statue was created in 1947 based on Sister Lucia's description of her encounters with Our Lady.
Come and experience the blessing of gathering with others devoted to Our Lady when the statue visits our parish.

Our Lord told Sister Lucia that he had placed the peace of the world in the Immaculate Heart.
The Pilgrim Virgin Statue has visited more than 100 countries, bringing Mary's powerful and timeless message of salvation and hope to millions. Countless favors and graces have been reported wherever the Virgin Statue has traveled.
