Wednesday, May 13, is the Feast of Our Lady of Fátima.

From https://universalis.com/20260513/today.htm . . .

==
This feast commemorates the visions of Our Lady seen near Fátima in Portugal in 1917 by three shepherd children, Lúcia dos Santos and her cousins Jacinta and Francisco Marto. The visions occurred on the 13th day of each month from May to October, and by October huge crowds were gathering at the site of the visions and reporting visions and miraculous occurrences themselves. (The exception was August, when the children were put in prison to stop them visiting the site, and Mary appeared to them in a different location six days later.)

Pope John Paul II was devoted to Our Lady of Fátima and attributed his survival of an assassin’s bullet on 13 May 1981 to her intervention. Jacinta and Francisco Marto, who died in the great Spanish Flu pandemic of 1919-20, were beatified on 13 May 2000 and canonized by Pope Francis on 13 May 2017.

To commemorate this day, the Legion of Mary is sponsoring a public rosary at 5:30 p.m. in the parish parking lot. For further information, see p. 7 of this week's bulletin at https://irp.cdn-website.com/ccbf8c0e/files/uploaded/May+10th+2026+%285%29.pdf.

"I chose to take the name Leo XIV. There are different reasons for this, but mainly because Pope Leo XIII in his historic Encyclical Rerum Novarum addressed the social question in the context of the first great industrial revolution. In our own day, the Church offers to everyone the treasury of her social teaching in response to another industrial revolution and to developments in the field of artificial intelligence that pose new challenges for the defence of human dignity, justice and labour."

Our parish will hold a second collection this weekend to support those affected by March storms in Kankakee County. Proceeds will go to Catholic Charities to support families who have suffered significant hardship and for repairs at Bishop McNamara School.

Catholic Charities is also seeking donations to its Angel Fund. Thanks to a generous angel donor, all donations will be matched (up to $50,000), doubling the impact of your gift.
