St. Rose of Lima Parish Parish Center ~ 425 Pennsylvania Ave., North Wales, PA 19454 FAITH † FORUM THURSDAY, APRIL 20 7:30 PM “THE FIVE MESSAGES OF FATIMA” This talk will present the key role Mary plays in spiritual warfare and how the five main messages of Fatima form us for battle against evil. If obeyed, we will triumph along with her Immaculate Heart and bring about peace on earth. This is a very practical talk that will make the messages of Fatima more relevant to your life in today's world. It's a great way to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the Apparitions at Fatima.
