Its an open day of instruction, devotion and intercession based on the message given by Our Lady at Fatima in 1917. It is a day of prayer held in a Church or shrine and open to all.

The Sacrament of Penance is readily available. There is a Catholic bookstall and repository and the opportunity to enrol in the Brown Scapular (consecration to Our Lady) and the Miraculous Medal if so wished.
