A call to prayer and reparation

Our Lady of Fatima encouraged the faithful to practise the devotion of the Five First Saturdays through Confession, Holy Communion, praying five decades of the Rosary, and spending fifteen minutes meditating on its mysteries, all with the intention of making reparation to her Immaculate Heart.

Come and place your intentions at the feet of Our Blessed Mother. Whether you are seeking spiritual renewal, peace in your family, strength during illness, or a deeper relationship with Jesus, you are warmly invited to join us in this grace-filled devotion.

Through Mary to Jesus — may the Immaculate Heart of Mary lead us ever closer to the Most Sacred Heart of her Son.
