Dear Friends Greetings to you. How are you? Hope you are well and enjoying the summer. At the very outset I wish you and your family Happy July 4th. I pray for you and your family in my Holy Mass. Let's praise and thank God for His blessing of freedom. Fifteen months of pandemic has changed our life a lot. I remembered and prayed for you all in those difficult months. Now the restrictions are lifted up and most of us have received vaccines. The long awaited normal life has come. Let's thank the Lord. From this weekend onwards THE OBLIGATION TO ATTEND SUNDAY MASS resumes. I invite you and your family to attend the Sunday Mass. The Eucharist is the source and summit of the Christian life. Our Lady of Fatima Statue from Fatima is in our St. Norbert Church. Today is the last day. You are most welcome for the Mass and participate in the special rosary. The purpose of bringing the Statue is to bring the graces of Fatima and Our Lady’s message of hope, peace and salvation to those many thousands of people who may never have an opportunity to make a pilgrimage to Fatima itself. I promise my prayers for you and your family. May God bless.

Today is the Peter’s Pence Collection, a worldwide collection that supports the work of the Universal Church, including the work of the Holy See and the charitable works of Pope Francis. Take this opportunity to Join with Pope Francis and be a sign of mercy to our suffering brothers and sisters. Please be generous today. For more information, visit www.peterspence.va/en.html.

The Message of Fatima spread throughout the world after World War II largely through the Pilgrim Virgin Statue tours which began in 1947 from Fatima. Their purpose then, as today, is to bring the graces of Fatima and Our Lady’s message of hope, peace and salvation to those many thousands of people who may never have an opportunity to make a pilgrimage to Fatima itself. The World Apostolate of Fatima, USA, Inc., was founded in 1947 as The Blue Army brings “Our Lady of Fatima” to the Northeast Kingdom. It will arrive at Our Lady of Fatima on Saturday, June 26th, at 5:00 PM, for the 6:00 PM Mass. There will be a special rosary said prior to the Mass at 5:30 PM. After Mass the statue will go to St. Norbert’s for the week of June 27 – July 3. On July 3rd prior to the 4:00 PM Mass there will also be a special rosary.
