Fatima 2019 Album
In 2019 we had a cruise excursion to Fatima.   It is the site where Mary
appeared to 3 children.  The children were told of the date of the last
apparition.  On that day they were given proof of the visit by what the
people called "The Miracle of the Sun".
 We were also there in 2002
with a film camera.

The 3 children who experienced
the visions in 1917.
The two girls, Lucia and Jacinta,
who experienced the visions are
buried in the church.
In another area of the church
the boy, Francisco, is buried.

We are thrilled beyond words
to be back to this holy site.
