a nine-day novena to our lady of fatima

fatima21

Novena starts on Thursday of the last week of  September or first week of October at St. Lambert Church in Skokie.

“Because the warnings that Our Lady gave the world at Fatima are so stern and terrible, many have mistakenly characterized Her Message as “apocalyptic.” Yet at the heart of the Fatima Message is the promise of peace which the Blessed Virgin offers to all men and women of faith and good will. In both its simplicity and its universality, Our Lady’s Message is a unique Heaven-sent opportunity for all people everywhere to work for a real, lasting peace in our homes, churches and nations.” (Heaven’s Peace Plan-Fatima.Org)

Please join us, parishioners of St. Lambert Parish in Skokie and devotees of Our Lady of the Rosary of Fatima for nine consecutive days for a Novena to Our Lady of the Rosary of Fatima. Novena usually starts during the last week of September and ends on October. This is in celebration of:

  • The Feast of Our Lady of the Rosary which falls on October 7
  • The day of the last appearance of the Blessed Virgin Mary to the three children, Lúcia Santos, Jacinta and Francisco Marto in Fatima, Portugal on October 13, 1917
  • And October as the month of the Most Holy Rosary.

A Holy Sacrifice of the Mass will be celebrated on on the last day of the Novena at 5:00 in the evening, a procession around the church will follow after the Mass to highlight the occasion.
