Open Your Home to the Blessed Mother

The Pilgrim Virgin Home Visitation is a spiritual program in which a statue of the Blessed Virgin Mary, a 28" replica of Our Lady of Fatima, visits the homes of parishioners. It is a travelling sacramental offered by the Legion of Mary for installation in your home to create an opportunity for families to embrace and deepen their faith thru prayer, reflection, and devotion to Mary.

The Pilgrim Virgin Mary Home Visitation is an aid to help us respond to the requests made by the Blessed Mother during her apparitions at Fatima. The essence of her requests is threefold:

• Return to God - turn away from sin and obey the Ten Commandments.
• Pray the Rosary - offer prayers daily for peace in our hearts, homes, and the world.
• Make Reparation for Sins - undertake acts of penance and sacrifice.

Parishioners of St. Bernadette Catholic Church may invite the Blessed Mother to their home.

The statue will be brought to your residence and installed with a beautiful prayer ceremony by members of the Legion of Mary with you. The statue may remain in your home for at least two weeks. At the end of the visitation, the members of the Legion of Mary will return to pray and recite "Mary's Farewell" with you. Then our Blessed Mother is once again ready to travel to another home of one of her children.

To schedule the visitation, contact the Legion of Mary, Our Lady of Lourdes Praesidium.
