The World Apostolate of Fatima's U.S. Tour for Peace coming to our parish!

The world-famous International Pilgrim Virgin Statue of Fatima is continuing a historic tour of America to commemorate the apparitions at Fatima and is coming to our parish!

St Joseph will host the tour on December 4, 2025, starting at 8:30 am Mass. The day will include Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament, and time to venerate the Statue of Our Lady of Fatima. The Statue will remain in the church during our Advent Penance Service that evening. Please join us to hear the story of Fatima and venerate this beautiful statue that set out from Fatima in 1947 to bring the graces of Fatima to all who might not ever be able to make a pilgrimage to Fatima, Portugal. We bring the pilgrimage to you! It will be an extraordinary occasion of healing, hope and grace.

Hundreds of favors and graces, including cures, and countless conversions are associated with the image. The presence of this special Statue (sculpted according to the description of Sister Lucia, the Fatima seer) is a great gift to our community.
