Why Respond to Mary?
The message of Fatima, as delivered by Our Lady, calls upon each of us to reflect deeply on our moral responsibilities
Reasons for responding
The World Apostolate of Fatima has the blessing of all recent Popes.
It was highly regarded by both the first Bishop of Fatima and Sr Lucia, who prayed daily for Apostolate..
It was also highly regarded by St. Pio of Pietrelcina who adopted our members as his spiritual children.

Not responding to Our Lady
But if we reject Our Lady’s invitation, and thus reject God, then happiness and peace will become unattainable – and so a wholehearted response is crucial.
But the overall response to Mary’s requests at Fatima within the Church, and in the West generally, has been unsatisfactory… and unfortunately, most people continue to live as though God does not exist.
This means happiness and peace seem to be further away each day, like an unattainable mirage. And so a wholehearted response to Our Lady’s requests on our part is more important than ever.
