The Blessed Virgin Mary is venerated under this title following
apparitions to three shepherd children — Lucia, Jacinta and Francisco —
in Portugal in 1917. The message of Fatima includes a call to conversion
of heart, repentance from sin and a dedication to the Blessed Virgin
Mary, especially through praying the Rosary. This optional memorial is
new to the USA liturgical calendar and is inscribed on May 13.
