August 13th, 2008: Fatima Devotions and Vatican Eucharistic Miracles Exhibit at Grotto

I regret that I have not been posting much, but have been putting in some long hours (nearly 12 today) to make a deadline ahead of the 15th at work.

Fatima Devotions - Aug 13th
Please note that tomorrow is the 13th, the day Assumption Grotto has a special day for Fatima devotions. These run from May through October - the months in which the Blessed Virgin Mary appeared to the children of Fatima. It begins with the Mass, followed by a procession out to the Grotto with banners while the Rosary is prayed. Then, children of the parish re-enact that month's message. People then go back to the gym where there are refreshements. In the past they have had speakers - priests from the area who would prepare a talk. This time, it is a video that will be watched.
