World Famous Pilgrim Virgin Statue of Fatima to Visit

World Famous Pilgrim Virgin Statue of Fatima to Visit the Church of St. Michael on September 28-29 The world-famous International Pilgrim Virgin Statue of Fatima, traveling since 1947, will be touring the Archdiocese of St. Paul/Minneapolis, Sept. 17 – 29, 2024. It will be visiting our parish of St Michael on September 28-29.
After being blessed by the Bishop of Leiria-Fatima, on October 13, 1947, the statue left Fatima and was flown to America to begin its tours. The bishop prayed that Our Lady’s presence would travel with it wherever she went. It was blessed again in 1952 by Pope Pius XII, who had crowned the original statue in Fatima as Queen of the World just a few years earlier. He commented, “In 1946, I crowned Our Lady of Fatima as Queen of the World and the following year, through the Pilgrim Virgin, she set forth as though to claim her dominion, and the favors she performs along the way are such that we can hardly believe what we are seeing with our eyes.” The favors granted, conversions and healings, and supernatural phenomena that periodically occurs, are too countless to name. The mission of the Pilgrim Virgin Statue of Fatima is to bring the messageof Fatima—the Peace Plan from Heaven—to a world in need. Our Lord told Sister Lucia, the oldest of the three seers at Fatima, that he had entrusted the peace of the world to her Immaculate Heart.
The International Pilgrim Virgin Statue has visited more than 100 countries, bringing Mary's powerful message of salvation and hope to millions. Countless favors and graces have been reported wherever the Virgin Statue has traveled.
