Pilgrim Statue VisitationList Item 3
Our Lady of Fatima has a Pilgrim Virgin Statue Home Visitation Program. We offer parishioners a statue to take into their homes for a week of their prayer intentions.
If you would like to have the statue of the Blessed Mother in your home for a week please contact Sue Troxler at 795-6269. These statues are constantly visiting parish homes and becoming the center of devotions of the rosary to Our Blessed Mother, Mary, who lovingly leads us to Jesus.
Members of the Legion of Mary from the Diocese of Venice participated in the annual ceremony of their consecration to the Blessed Virgin Mary. This celebration was held on March 26, 2022 at the 51st annual ACIES of the Manasota Curia of the Legion of Mary. Following the consecration ceremony, Holy Mass was celebrated by Bishop Frank J. Dewane.
