On 13th May 1917 Our Lady appeared to three young children in the small village of Fatima in Portugal. in 1917 the World was not at peace. The First World War continued and in this year Communism would become the dominant force in Russia which would lead to the formation of the USSR and its atheistic dogma which would blight the World for decades.

Through the three children, Our Lady urged the people of the World to pray especially her Rosary; to go to Mass; to go to the Sacrament of Reconciliation and to make sacrifices for sinners.

The events of Fatima are told in this classic documentary with the link below. On the Feast of Our Lady of Fatima we will post a link for a modern version of the story. Both are good for families to watch together.
