Our Lady Of Fatima Statue is here for 2026 !
Are you ready to witness a miracle?
After 5 previous visitations by Our Blessed Mother, on October 13th, 1917, approximately 70,000 people gathered and witnessed a miracle in Fatima, Portugal. Today, over the next 6 months, thousands of individuals will join together across the country, to publicly pray the rosary to our Lady of Fatima. We cannot promise you that the sun will dance as it did over 100 years ago, but we can promise you a warm welcome, and by faithfully and seriously praying the rosary, miracles WILL happen in your own lives. Learn about the message Our Lady gave to all of us. Join us each month as we pray the rosary publicly in front of Saint Annes Church in Gorham Maine and across the State.
MaineNeedsFatima.org is proud to announce that "Our Lady Of Fatima" statue will remain in Maine for the 2026 season. We are so blessed to have such a wonderful statue to share here in the state. TFP (The American Society for the Defense of Tradition, Family, and Property) Director John Horvat II said "Our Lady chooses where she wants to be. Right now, her stature wants to be with the people in Maine"
Having such a wonderful statue of Our Lady can't be hidden in only one home, she really needs to be shared, and she is available for home visits, events, and rallies throughout Maine while we have her.
Would you like to have a "Fatima Home Visitation" right here in Maine?
An In-Home visitation can be a life changing experience. We know from personal experience the calming effect "Her" presence had in our home. <click here to to learn more> or Send us an email or give us a call, and we'll do what we can. <Click here for our contact us page> .
You can also reach out to America Needs Fatima and request one of their home visitations. Since 1997, America Needs Fatima volunteers, referred to as “Fatima Custodians,” travel our country bringing a number of Fatima statues into homes, showing an audio-visual presentation on the apparitions and message of Our Lady of Fatima and teaching people how to pray the Rosary. At the end of each presentation, a Rosary is prayed with all present and then participants enjoy a period of time of conversation and sometimes refreshments offered by the host. Every year these fervent Custodians visit an average of 2,500 homes.

Greetings to All and a Happy and Blessed 2026!
As I write this, we are well into the month of May, one of the 2 months specifically dedicated to our glorious and ever-virgin Mother Mary. Reflecting upon the message Our Lady gave to the 3 shepherd children in this month over 100 years ago, I am struck that it is just as pertinent today as it was then. She asked the children to “Pray the rosary every day to obtain peace for the world and the end of the war” At the time, WWI was in full-force and people were desperate for peace. We may not be in the middle of a world war today, but the world is clearly not at peace and prayer is the only solution we can truly rely upon. We are fortunate to have many prayer warriors In Maine and always hope to add to our numbers. Please join us for rosary rallies this summer - you would be most welcome.
On another note, I have recently retired and expect to devote more time to the Maine Needs Fatima ministry. Hopefully you will find our project(s) informative and helpful. Please check our calendar periodically as we will post the specifics as soon as possible.
For those who do not know, David Roy our friend, and Maine Needs Fatima volunteer since our beginning in 2017 went to his final reward in April. Please pray for the repose of his soul and for his grieving family members. Dan and I will greatly miss him.

By now, most of the people who will view our website and read this letter are quite familiar with the six apparitions of the Blessed Mother in Fatima, Portugal in 1917. However, you may not be quite as familiar with other messages Our Lady conveyed to Lucia as either part of, or subsequent to the 1917 apparitions. In addition to the Communion of Reparations of the Five First Saturday’s, which I hope you all fulfill, did you know about the connection of the Fatima apparitions with the Brown Scapular?
In 1251 St. Simon Stock was visited by the Blessed Mother who said “Receive most beloved son the scapular of thy order, a sign of my confraternity, a privilege both to thee and to all Carmelites, in which he that death shall not suffer eternal fire.” The scapular became the habit of the Carmelites. Later this privilege was expanded to all those who are invested into the Confraternity and reverently wear the brown scapular. (Please speak with your priest who has the power to invest you into the Confraternity of the Brown Scapular.)
In 1950, Sr. Lucia said “the rosary and the scapular are inseparable. You cannot have one without the other.” In the spoken messages from Our Lady at Fatima, she emphasized the praying of the rosary. However, on October 13, 1917 as the sun was plunging to earth, Sr Lucia saw 3 tableaus. One was Our Lady handing her a brown scapular, saying with her gesture to take it. Sr. Lucia included the Brown Scapular as a devotion necessary to bring about the Triumph of the Immaculate Heart to the Bishop of Fatima.
We can remember the role each lay Catholic must willingly accept to assist in the realization of the Triumph of the Immaculate Heart of Mary’s:
C Consecration to Our Lady
R Rosary Every Day
O Offering up our sufferings and daily duties
S Scapular – be invested and wear it daily
S Saturdays - First 5 Saturday Devotion
As part of our mission, we always bring blessed scapulars to our Rosary Rallies. Please feel free to take advantage of this offered sacramental and encourage others to do the same.
I would be remiss if I did not thank America Needs Fatima for allowing us to remain the stewards of such a beautiful statue. Although we realize it is a Statue, many people have commented about a special feeling they get in its presence. We are truly honored to play some small role in spreading devotion to Our Blessed Mother through this ministry.
Please check out the MaineNeedsFatima calendar for events in the area. If you learn of events and would like them posted on our calendar please reach out to us at 833-8FATIMA (833-832-8462) or on the website. A new website will be coming soon.
We hope you will be able to join us in 2026
