Five parishes across the diocese will be hosting the world-famous International Pilgrim Virgin Statue of Our Lady of Fatima, traveling worldwide since 1947. The statue is on an historic two-year journey across America to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the apparitions at Fatima, visiting more than 100 dioceses in 50 states. The Diocese of Bismarck is participating in the tour June 16-20.

Then there will be Exposition of the Blessed Sacrament, and a period of Adoration. In the midst of the time of Adoration there will be a Rosary, enrollment in the Scapular, and Consecration to the Sacred and Immaculate Hearts. This will all take approx. 45 minutes following Mass. Then the statue will be present in the Church for periods of private prayer until 3:00 pm.
