About the Statue:
The Pilgrim Virgin Statue of Fatima set out in 1947 to bring graces of Fatima to all that are unable to make the pilgrimage to Fatima. Hundreds of graces, favors including cures and conversions are are associated with the image. The presence of this special statue which was sculpted by the famous sculptor Jose Thedim based on Venerable Sister Lucia’s precise instructions when Our Lady revealed Herself as the Immaculate Heart to the three shepherd children Lucia Dos Santos, and her cousins (now Saints) Jacinta and Francisco Marto. The statue was blessed by the Bishop of Fatima on October 13, 1947 with the purpose of bringing Our Lady’s message of hope, peace, and salvation to those who don’t have the opportunity to make a pilgrimage to Fatima. The statue was entrusted to John Haffert, co-founder of the Blue Army and prayed that Mary herself would accompany where the statue goes.
