Saturday, May 13, marks the 100th anniversry of Mary's appearance to three peasant children at Fatima. Archbishop Chaput has written and excellent article on this momentous occasion and what it reveals about the importance of humility to combat the hubris of this world. His article can be read here. In honor of the Fatima centenary, the bishops of Pennsylvania voted to dedicate every diocese and eparchy in the Commonwealth to the protection of the Blessed Mother. The official dedication to Mary will take place at St. Patrick’s Cathedral in Harrisburg at noon on Wednesday, September 27, in a Mass concelebrated by all Pennsylvania bishops. Our own diocesan dedication will take place the weekend of October 14-15. Stay tuned for more details on these events.
