We are excited that this weekend s significant events will be a part of our history at St. George during our centennial year! Here is some historical information on this weekend s important guest as you pray with the International Pilgrim Statue of Our Lady of Fatima. She was hand-carved from mahogany wood by the famous Portuguese sculptor José Thedim in 1947 based on the detailed directions of Sister Lucia of Fatima. The Bishop of Fatima blessed the statue on October 13, 1947 and gave it the vital mission to serve as the Pilgrim Virgin. Additionally, the Bishop prayerfully requested that Mary herself follow the statue during its global journeys. His Holiness Pope Pius XII declared in a radio address to a million pilgrims at Fatima, Portugal: In 1946, I crowned Our Lady of Fatima as Queen of the World and the following year, through the Pilgrim Virgin, She set forth as though to claim Her dominion, and the favors She performs along the way are such that we can hardly believe what we are seeing with our eyes. This Sunday spend some time in prayer with our Holy Mother and open your heart to her as we welcome this very beautiful and powerful image of Our Lady of Fatima.
