HISTORY

Three children at Fatima

​

 

On May 13 1917, the 1st of 6 apparitions occured, changing the the way we pray the rosary & played a key role in the downfall of communism. 10 year old Lucia Santos & cousins Jacinta & Francisco Marto, were tending sheep near their house in Fatima, Portugal when they saw a beautiful woman which Lucia described as "brighter than the sun" & when they asked her name, she called herself Our Lady of the Rosary. Our Lady continued to appear to our children on the 13th day of each month until October 13 1917.

The Story of Fatima

The Message of Fatima

The Fatima miracle is the most spectacular event in the history of the Rosary. Mary's message was that the power of the rosary could create peace in a war torn world, by praying the Rosary everyday.      

What Is A Rosary Mystery

Catholic rosary mysteries are the soul of the rosary. They are the prayers of the Gospel. The Gospels are 4 books of the Bible - Matthew, Mark, Luke & John - that tell of Jesus' life from his Incarnation to His Ascension.
