Visitation of the National Pilgrim Virgin Statue
The Centenary of the Fatima Five First Saturdays Devotion takes place this year.
Nottingham Cathedral will be hosting the Pilgrim Virgin Statue of Our Lady of Fatima and Relics of Saints Jacinta and Francisco on the 12th and 13th October 2025.
This Visitation is a particular remembrance of the apparition to Sr Lucia, the oldest Fatima seer, which took place in December 1925, when she was a postulant with the Sisters of St Dorothy at Pontevedra in Spain.
The Blessed Virgin appeared with the Child Jesus and gave more details of the devotion of reparation which she had mentioned to the shepherd children during the July 1917 apparition.

This devotion is connected with the conversion of Russia and ultimately with world peace, and this is why the World Apostolate of Fatima in England & Wales is promoting it so strongly during the centenary year, given that our world is so much in need of peace. And it is also providential that this celebration coincidences with the larger celebration of the Church’s Jubilee year, which has the theme of “Pilgrims of Hope.”
The Visitation at the Cathedral will include a procession and enthronement of the Fatima statue, followed by Mass and opportunities to venerate the saints’ relics.
