The International Pilgrim Virgin Statue of Our Lady of Fatima will be in Hawaii Nov. 1 through 21, visiting at least 13 parishes on Oahu and one on the Big Island, according to the Hawaii Catholic Herald.
The statue, a 4-foot-high image of the apparition of the Blessed Mother Mary to three peasant children in Fatima, Portugal, has been taken all over the world since 1947. Miracles, favors, conversions and graces have been attributed to the statue’s visits, the Herald release said.
A church visit of the statue lasts a minimum of four hours. It always includes a procession of the statue on a platform and a 20- to 30-minute introduction by the current custodian of the statue.
