 Blesseds Jacinta and Francisco Marto

 

Francisco Marto and his sister Jacinta Marto also known as Blessed Francisco Marto and Blessed Jacinta Marto, together with their cousin, Lúcia dos Santos were the children from Aljustrel near Fátima, Portugal, who said they witnessed three apparitions of an angel in 1916 and several apparitions of the Blessed Virgin Mary in 1917. Their reported visions of Our Lady of Fátima proved politically controversial, and gave rise to a major centre of world Christian pilgrimage.

 

We pray that like Jacinta and Marco, we may have the courage to open our hearts to you and welcome you into our lives, we ask this through the intercession of your blessed Mother.

Our Father……..
