The Original Statue of the Virgin of Fatima Will Be in Rome on October 11-12, 2025

This is the fourth time that the statue leaves the Fatima Shrine to go to Rome. The first was in 1984, on the occasion of the Extraordinary Jubilee of the Redemption when, on March 25, Saint John Paul II consecrated the world to the Immaculate Heart of Mary. The second time was in the Great Jubilee of the Year 2000, and the third on the occasion of the Year of Faith with Pope Francis.
