A booklet of THE ANGEL OF PORTUGAL AT FATIMA was published in 2016 by Fr. William Wagner, ORC. The following note presents some of the ideas put forward in the booklet, based on the three visits made by the Angel to the three child-seers of Fatima. In the 1968 booklet “Lucia Speaks on the Message of Fatima” we find her descriptions of these three visits.
Please take the time to read the Strategic Plan for the International WAF, leading up to the Fatima Centennial in 2017. This was recently finalised by the International Board of Trustees and the Secretariat of the World Apostolate of Fatima.
