Father Mark first introduced St. Alice parishioners to Traditional Latin Mass after his 2017 pilgrimage to Fatima, Portugal. The Virgin Mary appeared to three shepherd children in 1917 and asked them to "...pray the Rosary daily for peace in the world." Our Lady of Fatima's request more than 100 years ago rings true today especially with the coronavirus pandemic entering its second year, global instability and a growing political divide in U.S. To prepare for first Saturday devotion: 1. Go to Confession either 2 weeks before or 2 weeks after Saturday. 2. Pray the Rosary and meditate for 15 minutes on the Mysteries. 3. Receive Communion in a state of Grace.
