The practice of the First Saturdays are crucial for the peace of the World and the salvation of Millions.

With wild fires spreading …and desecrations of Churches, Shrines, Images of Our Blessed Lord and of Our Blessed Lady happening frequently, alongside the increasing persecution of Christians and of the Church …. these First Saturdays of Reparation are more crucial and important than we realise!
Only in Heaven will we realise that this monthly humble practice of: (see graphic!) will unleash for the world, graces of conversion and protection from degeneration, disaster and war, beyond our wildest hopes!

Please encourage people to join us!
