Would you like to have the Pilgrim Virgin Statue of Our Lady of Fatima in your home for a week?  If you are a member of Stella Maris Parish and would like to have the Statue for a week then have contact with Fr. Denis at 557-7420.

While the statue is in your home, you are encouraged to pray for a few minutes extra, each day.  Maybe you could pray the Rosary? 

Why no try to get others to pray with you; family, neighbour or friend for example?

* NOVENA TO OUR LADY OF FATIMA *
(To make this novena, pray the following prayers every day for nine days: )

Most Holy Virgin,
who deigned to come to Fatima,
to reveal to the
three little shepherds
the treasures of graces hidden
in the recitation of the Rosary,
inspire our hearts with a
sincere love of this devotion,
so that by meditating
on the mysteries
of our redemption
that are recalled in it,
we may gather the fruits
and obtain the
conversion of sinners,
the conversion of Russia,
and this favour
that I so earnestly seekŠŠ(intentions)
which I ask of you in this novena
for the greater glory of God,
for your own honour,
and for the good of all people.  Amen.

Then pray the Our Father,
Hail Mary and Glory Be
three times each.
