On December 10, 1925, Our Lady and the Child Jesus appeared to Sr. Lucia dos Santos, one of the three Fatima visionaries, with an extraordinary request and promise that remains critical for our current times. Join Holy Family as we celebrate the 100th anniversary of when Our Lord and Our Lady asked for the spread of the First Saturday Devotion by coming to learn Sue Vanderscheuren’s talk “The Five First Saturday Devotion & Our Lady’s Peace Plan from Heaven” on Saturday, January 10 at 9:00 am in Holy Family Hall. See how this message and devotion are a part of the hope we have been immersed in during the Jubilee Year of Hope. Learn how to fulfill this heavenly request and about the amazing promise attached to it.
