Photographs: We request photographs of events, families, children praying by the statue from each location where she travels.  They should be emailed to: molivas@ccdenver.org within 2 weeks of her visit to your parish or school.

Advance announcements: Parish bulletins/ pulpit announcements 2 weeks prior should include notification of visit, events related to the visit (suggestions: extra evening Masses for those who cannot make daily Mass, Adoration Hour, Special Rosary times…).

Sample announcements:  Beginning next week, a newly commissioned beautiful statue of Our Lady of Fatima will be visiting our parish / school for 2 weeks. She will be traveling to our over 100 parishes and 37 schools. Her presence will be a reminder for family prayer and enjoying saying the Rosary together.  Please plan to attend our special Masses and times of Adoration – come and pray with her for an end to abortion and persecuted Christians worldwide.  The family that prays together – stays together!

Family Movie Night: Accompanying the Fatima statue is the Fatima Movie.  We encourage each parish to host a movie night with popcorn for parish families.  The statue and movie travel together.
