Anniversary of the Miracle of the Sun
2025-10-13 19:00 - 21:00
Here at the Fatima Shrine, we will commemorate the Anniversary of the Miracle of the Sun, with a special 7:00 pm Mass followed by a Candlelight Rosary Procession, and all are welcome to join us in honoring Our Lady of Fatima on this most blessed day.

On October 13, 1917, the Blessed Virgin Mary fulfilled her promise to the three children of Fatima, appearing for the final time in a manifestation that would become known as the Miracle of the Sun. Before an estimated 70,000+ witnesses gathered in the Cova da Iria, the sun appeared to dance, spin, and plunge toward the earth in a spectacular celestial display that defied natural explanation. This extraordinary sign, witnessed by believers and skeptics alike, served as divine authentication of Our Lady’s messages of prayer, penance, and conversion, establishing Fatima as one of the Church’s most significant approved apparitions and a cornerstone of modern Marian devotion.

Fifth Apparition of Our Lady of Fatima
2025-09-13 11:30 - 17:00
Fifth Apparition of Our Lady of Fatima
Masses Today: 11:30 am & 4:00 pm

The fifth apparition of Our Lady of Fatima on September 13, 1917, stands as a pivotal moment in the unfolding of Heaven’s message to humanity. Before an estimated crowd of 30,000 pilgrims who had gathered in the Cova da Iria, the Blessed Virgin Mary appeared once again to the three shepherd children: Lucia, Francisco, and Jacinta. This apparition carried particular weight as Our Lady promised that in the following month, October, she would reveal her identity and perform a great miracle that all could witness. The growing crowds and intense scrutiny from both religious and civil authorities had not deterred the faithful, who sensed they were witnessing something extraordinary that would echo through the ages.
During this September encounter, Our Lady continued to emphasize the central themes that would define the Fatima message: the necessity of prayer, penance, and devotion to her Immaculate Heart for the conversion of sinners and peace in the world. She specifically requested the daily recitation of the Rosary and reinforced her earlier calls for sacrificial love offered for the salvation of souls. The children reported that Mary appeared sad as she spoke of the many souls who fall into hell because no one prays or makes sacrifices for them. This maternal sorrow of the Mother of God serves as a profound reminder of the spiritual battle being waged for every human soul and the role that faithful Catholics are called to play in this cosmic drama of salvation.
The fifth apparition serves as a bridge between the initial revelations and the promised great miracle of October 13th, which would become known as the Miracle of the Sun. Mary’s promise to perform a sign that all could see demonstrates Divine Providence’s desire to reach not only the hearts of the faithful but also to provide tangible evidence for those struggling with doubt. This apparition reminds us that God respects both faith and reason, offering supernatural confirmation of His messages while never forcing belief. The growing anticipation among the crowds reflects the human longing for God, and Mary’s patient preparation of the children and the faithful shows how Heaven works gradually but persistently to transform hearts and draw all people closer to her Son, Jesus Christ.

Since his Ordination, he has had two callings from the Holy Spirit: to speak about God, Our Father and to make Him more known and loved, and to celebrate Healing Masses. We count ourselves blessed to have Fr. David, once again, share his healing ministry with us.
