Given to the United States in 1967, the statue brings this message as well as the graces of Fatima to those around the country who may not be able to visit Fatima in person. Through its journey to more than 100 countries, millions of people have felt the presence of Mary through this image. 

Monsignor William C. McGrath, the first custodian of the statue, remarked, “The countless unceasing miracles of grace, whereby sinners have returned to the sacraments in almost every parish visited, are evidence of the fact that the Blessed Mother is calling her own children back to the wounded Heart of her Divine Son.” 

Beginning this week at St. Anthony the Abbot Catholic Church in Brooksville on November 10th, the traveling Our Lady of Fatima statue is being hosted at various locations throughout the Diocese of Saint Petersburg. Statue visits include Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament as well as opportunities to venerate relics of the children that Our Lady of Fatima appeared to.
