Our Lady of Fatima pilgrim statue visits San Diego


Most of you know the story of Our Lady of Fatima, those of you who don't can follow this link to read more.
There is an international pilgrim virgin statue of Our Lady of Fatima that was created in 1947 by Jose Thedim. The statue is based on the description Sr. Lucia, one of the 3 children to see Our Lady in Fatima, Portugal, in 1917. The statue was blessed on October 13, 1947 by Bishop Leiria at Fatima, Portugal to be the pilgrim.
The statue has traveled the world many times and is now in San Diego. Some of you may already be aware, but for those who aren't can see the San Diego schedule here. My husband and I will for sure be going, hope you can make it to one of the locations as well!
