Dear Members 

As we step into the New Year, we are filled with anticipation as we continue the celebration of the Centenary Year of Our Lady's request for the First Five Saturdays at Pontevedra (1925-2025). 

Our 2026 Pilgrimage: The 12 Cathedral Visits 

Our pilgrimage of hope will continue with 12 further Cathedral Visits planned throughout England and Wales this year. See further details below 

We sincerely hope you will be able to join us in making this profound series of visits a spiritual success. 

The Message of Fatima: Our Call to Holiness 

The mission of the World Apostolate of Fatima is to participate in the "New Evangelisation" advocated by St. John Paul II, through living and spreading the message of Fatima. 

Our Lady's urgent request is our blueprint for holiness: 

• Prayer and Penance in reparation for sins. 
• A more generous devotion to the Eucharist. 
• Devotion to the Rosary (daily). 
• Consecration to Her Immaculate Heart. 
• Conversion of Sinners, leading to amendment of life. 

Your Call to Action 

I encourage all members to reach out within your family and friends, as well as within your parishes and the diocese, to make known and lived the message of Fatima, which is fundamentally our call to Holiness. 

Specifically, please help us by: 

• Sharing the details of the 12 Cathedral Visits, as well as parish visits this year. 
• Encouraging participation from your local parish groups. 

On behalf of all the Trustees and Leads, I wish you all a truly blessed and peaceful New Year
