We are now ready to have Our Lady of Fatima’s Pilgrim Virgin visit your home.  All you have to do is reserve a Sunday when you would like to host the Pilgrim Virgin for a week at a time by emailing the coordinator, Diane Waller (dianewaller@msn.com).  For those who do not use email, please call the parish office to make the arrangements at 540.338.6381 and ask for Angela. 

The system of transfer we devised from home to home is quite easy.  After you sign up, just pick up Our Lady’s statue in her travel box in the Narthex, left of the glass doors and return her (no later than the following Saturday afternoon) in the same place for the next person to pick up and you’re all set.  You can pick her up either after the Saturday vigil Mass (5 PM) or after any of the Sunday Masses you attend that weekend.  Make sure to include in your email your name, phone number, address and the Sunday date you wish to begin hosting.  For available “open dates” and schedule of hosts, just go to our website (ww.saintfrancisparish.org) and click on the Pilgrim Virgin Statue button.

For nearly a hundred years the tradition of hosting the Pilgrim Virgin of Our Lady of Fatima has brought many blessings and even miracles to those who devoutly prayed the Holy Rosary before her sacred image.  Take advantage of this opportunity to receive graces in abundance from Our Blessed Mother whom the archangel Gabriel addressed as  “full of grace” (Luke 1:28).

Here's the current schedule of hosts:
