Our Lady of Fatima

The Miracle at Fatima, Portugal
May - October, 1917

In a world torn apart by persecution, war and oppression, 3 young children from Fatima, Portugal were chosen to offer a message of hope to the world.

Based on the memoirs of the oldest ‘seer’, Lucia Santos, and on many thousands of eye-witness accounts, the outstanding film, The 13^th Day, describes the TRUE story of 3 young shepherd children who experienced 6 interactive apparitions with ‘Our Blessed Mother, the Lady from Heaven’. These apparitions culminated in the final miracle known as ‘The Miracle of the Sun’. This event, the greatest miracle of the 20th Century, was witnessed by more than 70,000 people on October 13, 1917.

All 3 ‘seers’ have passed into eternity now. 2 of them have been beatified.

The 2009 film, The 13^th Day, shot on location in Portugal and in the UK, will be shown, in its entirety, on October 8, 2021, starting at 7:00pm in the Parish Hall at St. John Neumann Parish, Mount Laurel, NJ. All are welcome to attend!

This event is sponsored by the Our Lady of Fatima Council of the Knights of Columbus. There is no cost for attendance.
 

Brother Knights of the Burlington County Chapter,

 
Please pass the message below to all members of your councils. This is an excellent way to express Charity toward your fellow man / woman / children who fled their country with basically just the clothes on their backs.
I would suggest you look in the GK Reference Guide 2021-2022 for the proper forms to fill out. All GK's received this on a thumb drive at the incoming Grand Knight Meeting back on June 19th.

    NEW THREAT TO CONSCIENCE RIGHTS AND THE UNBOR

    

The Trenton Monitor reported in an April 22nd newspaper article that "It is so
important for people in our parishes to learn about the Hyde Amendment and
the life-saving, conscience-protecting impact it has had for the past 45 years.
Without this protection, our federal tax dollars will contribute to millions more
abortions around our nation and beyond".

The Hyde Amendment, which first became law in 1976, prohibits use of federal
Medicaid dollars for abortion except in cases of rape, incest or when the life of
the woman would be endangered.  Named for former Representative Henry
Hyde, (R-111.), the amendment is renewed every year as part of the
appropriations bill for what is now the Department of Health and
Human Services.

There is serious talk in DC to end this protection. As Catholics, we must let our
faith speak out for the untold millions of babies that would be affected by this
change. You can let your voice be heard in Washington by going to the web site
at NoTaxpayerAbortion.com . There, you can send a message to Congress,
asking them to maintain the protection for the unborn that the Hyde Amendment
provides. Please stand up for LIFE.  Please visit the website and let our
government know we will not support our tax dollars going for abortions.
