Saturday, October 13

It was on Saturday, October 13, 1917 that the Miracle of The Sun took place at Fatima.

It was on Saturday, October 13, 1956 that what many consider to be the most important message of Our Lady of America was given to Sr. Millie in the Our Lady Mother of Mercy Chapel in Rome City, IN. It was this particular message that many involved in promoting the OLA devotion have taken as their main focus in educating the Bishops: Our Lady's request that She be enthroned as "Our Lady of America" in the National Basilica to the Immaculate Conception in Washington, D.C. Our Lady promised "miracles greater than those of Lourdes and Fatima" if her request was fulfilled. Due to the protocols involved with statuary displays in Basilicas, it is up to the Bishops to fulfill this request.

There must be something special about Saturday, October 13 for Our Blessed Mother because She seems to do some of Her most important work on this particular day/date.

The door will be open if you would like to join us in praying a rosary in the Our Lady Mother of Mercy Chapel in Rome City, IN.

.
P.S. She asks that you bring the children with you.


************SPECIAL THANK YOU***********

We would also like to give a big THANK YOU to Alex Fiato at The Italian Connection Restaurant in Fort Wayne, IN for all his hard work in assisting OLTIV in its efforts to spread this devotion. As President of The Father Solanus Casey Knights of Columbus, Alex has a great depth of knowledge of all things Marian, especially the historical connections between Rome City and The Mystical City of God.

Alex has made Wednesday and Thursday FAMILY NIGHT at his restaurant and he is running a dinner special/fundraiser for OLTIV. The whole family can have an affordable sit-down dinner and Alex is able to share information packets on the Our Lady of America messages after the family offers an open prayer of thanks before their meal.

Alex reports that the response from families coming in for the special as well as his regular patrons has been astounding. He says it has made people, who otherwise would be unaware of Our Lady's requests, well-informed of this canonically-approved special devotion and has motivated many to make a their own pilgrimage to Rome City seeking help with their own special intentions and spiritual growth.

If you would like more info on this unique program and how you can go about spreading the word through your own business, call Alex directly at 260-432-9702. He will be happy to share with you his experience to help you in your own efforts.
