CHARLOTTE — Monsignor Patrick Winslow, vicar general and chancellor of the Diocese of Charlotte, speaks to a group of St. Ann Parish homeschool students March 31 about Mary’s apparitions to three children in Fatima, Portugal, in 1917.
He talked about what lessons Catholics today can learn from the messages of Our Lady of Fatima, who urged people to pray for sinners, foster devotion to the Immaculate Heart of Mary, and recite the rosary often.
The students also received prayer cards and had the opportunity to venerate a relic of Sts. Jacinta and Francisco Marto, two of the Fatima visionaries and among the Church’s youngest saints.
