-The 100th Anniversary of the first appearance of Our Lady of Fatima was celebrated in Fatima, Portugal on Friday, May 12 and 13.   Pope Francis has offered the following opportunity for a special plenary indulgence:

“The faithful, with devotion, can visit a statue of Our Lady of Fatima solemnly exposed for public veneration in any church, oratory, or proper place of prayer during the days of the anniversary of the apparitions, the 13th of each month from May to October 2017, and there devoutly participate in some celebration or prayer in honor of the Virgin Mary. In addition, the faithful must pray the Our Father, recite the Creed and invoke Our Lady of Fatima. They must also offer to merciful God with confidence, through Mary, their prayers and sufferings or the sacrifices they make in their own lives.”
In the Diocese of Victoria, Bishop Cahill with the support of Father Dominic Antwi-Boasiako, has chosen St. Mary’s Church in Victoria to have a special statue of Our Lady of Fatima available for veneration on the 13th of May, June, July, August, September, and October.
