This May 13, Feast of Our Lady of Fatima, the Association Children of the Eucharist is organizing and celebrating the 27th Annual Worldwide Children’s Eucharistic and Marian Holy Hour, in spiritual partnership with the World Apostolate of Fatima. 

The main purpose of this initiative is to unite children and the youth in prayer, offering Eucharistic and Marian reparation, for an end to the trafficking of children, for families, for world peace and for the triumph of the Immaculate Heart of Mary. Later in the year, on October 13, there will be a second Worldwide Holy Hour for the same intentions. More information can be found here.

EWTN (www.ewtn.com) will broadcast live the Children’s Holy Hour from the Shrine of the Blessed Sacrament in Hanceville, Alabama, in the United States, reaching million households in more than 160 countries and territories across the globe. Besides, many places around the world will be holding similar events.

Members of the World Apostolate of Fatima are invited to promote moments of Eucharistic Adoration in the parish churches, and the recitation of the Rosary, with children and their families, on this May 13 but also throughout the entire year. It is important to offer prayers to God and to ask the intercession of the Blessed Virgin Mary to obtain peace for the world.

Let us be also spiritually united with Saint Francisco and Saint Jacinta Marto, who from heaven continue to intercede for us and for the salvation of souls.
