Feast of St. Anthony of Padua & Anniversary of 2nd Apparition of Fatima | EWTN News Nightly

About this sermon

Today is the feast of St. Anthony of Padua. It also is the anniversary of the second apparition of the Blessed Virgin to the children at Fatima, and one group in New Jersey is dedicated to spreading awareness of our Lady's messages. The Blue Army of Our Lady of Fatima was founded in 1947. During the Cold War, a local priest discovered the messages of Our Lady of Fatima. He teamed with a friend and built a shrine on a farm in Washington, New Jersey. The group prayed for the conversion of the atheist Soviet Union and used the term Blue Army to counter the Soviet's Red Army. Now called the World Apostolate of Fatima, the group seeks to spread messages of prayer and peace. Executive Director of the World Apostolate of Fatima USA, David Carollo, joins to remind us about the messages of Fatima and how they remain relevant today. Carollo tells us about some of the projects his group is working on. He discusses some of the ways our viewers can participate in the initiatives with Our Lady of Fatima. ------------ EWTN News Nightly provides the latest news and analysis from a Catholic perspective.
