Our Lady of Fatima Parish is a small Roman Catholic Church located in the west of Tucson, Arizona.
We attended an RV owner’s rally the prior week. We found Our Lady of Fatima parish just a half mile away for Sunday Mass before heading out towards Zion National Park.
In 1917, the Blessed Virgin Mary — the Mother of Jesus Christ and Mother of us all — appeared to three shepherd children from the village of Fatima, Portugal six times between May 13 and October 13. She had been sent by God with a very special message for every man, woman, and child on earth.
The heavenly Lady explained to the children that war is a punishment for sin and warned that if men did not amend their lives, then God would further punish the world for its disobedience to His Will by means of war, famine, and persecution the likes of which had never been seen before on the face of the earth.
But Our Lady’s message was not without hope. On the contrary, Her message is full of hope… our only hope. For She promised that Heaven would grant peace to the entire world if Her specific requests for prayer, penance and consecration were obeyed.
Interesting ‘steeple’ that marks the location of this Church.
O Most Holy Virgin Mary, Queen of the most holy Rosary, you were pleased to appear to the children of Fatima and reveal a glorious message. We implore you, inspire in our hearts a fervent love for the recitation of the Rosary. By meditating on the mysteries of the redemption that are recalled therein may we obtain the graces and virtues that we ask, through the merits of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Redeemer. Amen
