A new movement dedicated to fulfilling a request made by the Blessed Virgin Mary at Fatima has arrived in Britain.
The Communal First Saturdays Apostolate has taken root in 19 parishes in England, three in Scotland and three in Wales, a decade after it was founded in a St Anthony of Padua Church in Woodlands, Texas. It seeks to honour the request of Our Lady for the “First Saturdays Devotion” – a reparation for offences committed against the Immaculate Heart of Mary – by promoting the practice in a communal rather than a private setting.
