Dear Friend,
I cannot tell you how special it is to have the miraculous
International Pilgrim Virgin Statue of Our Lady of Fatima as our
companion on the Portolá 250 Pilgrimage to visit the 21 California
Missions in 21 days.
I am blessed to have accompanied the Pilgrim Virgin Statue for 40
years to all parts of the world. But it has been a true blessing to
witness the joy and enthusiasm of others that travel with her.

feelings and impressions.
Here is a tease from James' blog on
Our Lady's Fatima Statue:
I can attest the encounter with the statue is miraculous,
deeply moving and edifying. Watching the affect she has on others,
especially the elderly who over the course of hours, remained in her
presence; I could only imagine they were reflecting on their lives,
interceding in prayer for their families, and many more infinite
desires and needs they hold in their hearts.

Join us for 21 days on this difficult and wonderful Portolá
pilgrimage by submitting your intentions to be presented at every
Mission!
Each and every day, I will be praying for you and your loved ones
at the feet of the Fatima Statue.
If you submit intentions and/or donate to help the pilgrimage, I
will also send you an update each day for you to share with your
family and friends.
May God bless you! May Our Lady protect you! And may St. Junípero
Serra inspire you with great love of souls and ardent missionary
zeal!
