FATIMA: THE FACTS
This pamphlet is in response to many requests to clarify the facts of the Fatima message.
It is intended to be given to those not able to read the books available, or do not have the
financial ability to obtain them, but who desire the facts. After writing many books on
Fatima, hundreds of articles on Fatima, and also editing a magazine, Immaculate Heart
Messenger, for the Fatima Family Apostolate International, I accept this challenge. Keep
in mind this is but a summary. The depth of its message and developments tell much more.
The Mother of God appeared to three little shepherd children of Fatima six times in
1917, on the 13th of the month, beginning May 13, through October 13, 1917. Lucia, age
10 and her cousins (brother and sister) Francisco, 9 and Jacinta 7. In 1916, they had three
apparitions of the Angel of Peace. Two of them were located in the Loca do Cabeco, as
they herded sheep, and one was at the well behind Lucia's house. The Angel prepared them
for the coming of Mary a year later with a message for the world.
