Ways to Help The Missionary Shrine of Our Lady of Fatima
Our Missionary Shrine of Our Lady of Fatima has become a special place of silence, prayer, mission, and meditation. It is a focal point for pilgrimages, days of recollection, retreats, education, and Interfaith programs. As you visit this Shrine of Our Lady of Fatima, please know that the prayers of the Xaverian Missionaries are with you. We ask you to pray for our mission to proclaim Christ to those yet to know Him across borders of any kind.
Donations are always appreciated for the support of the Shrine and the Mission Ministry of the Xaverian Missionaries. Leave a legacy by including Fatima Shrine in your will.
