Our Lady of Fatima’s Pilgrim Virgin visit

Last Saturday Frank & Esper Radosta hosted Our Lady of Fatima’s Pilgrim Virgin visit at their home coordinated by America Needs Fatima, a Catholic Organization spreading the message of Fatima all over the Nation. The life-size Pilgrim Virgin Statue was on display at the Radosta home while the Fatima Proclaimer Coordinator, Jose Walter Ferraz, provided an audio-visual presentation on the 1917 miraculous Fatima apparitions to all the guests, emphasizing its message.  It was a very well attended Marian program with almost 40 guests, blessed by the presence of Fr. Aldrin and Br. Francis, and concluded by a group Rosary.    What an appropriate way to begin Lent, thanks Frank & Esper for hosting.

Divine Mercy Enthronement with the Mulcahy’s & Mrs. Joan Mc. Grail

A large group of parishioners gathered to pray the Divine Mercy chaplet & Holy Rosary for Mrs. Mc. Grail & the Mulcahy family.
Fr. Aldrin led the prayers with the help of the Junior Legion of Mary. Fr. Aldrin had us all singing and Br. Frank prayed Grace as we shared a very delicious meal together.

Thanks Candice & Marina for hosting such a delightful evening, your love and appreciation to us was a reminder of our Catholic identities.
