The Pilgrim Virgin Statue and Relics of Saints Jacinta and Francisco to visit at our Cathedral on the weekend of 10-11 May 2025
This Visitation is a particular remembrance of the apparition to Sr Lucia, the oldest Fatima seer, which took place inDecember 1925 when she was a postulant with the Sisters of St Dorothy at Pontevedra in Spain. The Blessed Virgin appeared with the Child Jesus and gave more details of the devotion of reparation which she had mentioned to the shepherd children during the July 1917 apparition. This devotion is connected with the conversion of Russia and ultimately with world peace, and this is why the World Apostolate of Fatima in England & Wales is promoting it so strongly during the centenary year, given that our world is so much in need of peace. And it is also providential that this celebration coincidences with the larger celebration of the Church’s Jubilee year, which has the theme of “Pilgrims of Hope.” Over the weekend the Visitation will include a number of different events, including: · Procession of the Fatima Pilgrim Virgin Statue. · Enthronement and Crowning of the Fatima · Mass celebrated by the Dean of the Cathedral will follow the enthronement. · The opportunity to venerate the relics of Saints Jacinta and Francisco. · The Rosary will be prayed with the intention of world peace. · During breaks, a book table will be available for browsing and purchases. · Informative talks and videos about Fatima will be presented. · Participants can enrol in the Brown Scapular devotion. · The Visitation concludes with a Holy Hour and Benediction. |

It is inspired by a young adult, Iona Robinson who grew up in Devon she always felt that she had to put her faith on hold until she left the Southwest but now, she realises that there is so much for her here in the Southwest.
