Your Eminence / Your Grace /Your Excellency/ Marian devotee / Council or WAF member,

Peace of Christ!

The World Apostolate of Fatima is an International Association of the Faithful of Pontifical Right, approved permanently by the Holy See on October 7, 2010. It is a movement of the Catholic Church, with millions of members around the world, who follow the requests made by the Blessed Virgin Mary to the three children of Fatima, in 1917: “Do not offend the Lord our God anymore, because He is already too much offended”

The message calls for Sacrifice of daily duties, observance of God’s law as penance and keeping God first, daily Rosary for peace, prayers and sacrifices daily offered for the sinners and in reparation to the Eucharistic Jesus and the Immaculate Heart of Mary, through the devotion of the Five First Saturdays of the month and Consecration.

To further spread Our Lady’s Message of Peace and Hope, you are cordially invited for the 10th Indian National Council Meet to be held from 3rd to 5th February 2019 at Seva Kendra, 52 B, Radhanath Chowdhury Road,  (Adjacent to Loreto Convent, Entally), Kolkata-700 015.
