The evening is hosted by John and Danielle Connors and is open to everyone. Come along, bring a friend, and hear powerful personal testimonies of lives changed through faith and Our Lady’s intercession.
A date with Our Lady
The 13th of October is the anniversary of the last of the apparitions at Fátima, in 1917, when Our Lady told the three children: “I am the Lady of the Rosary.” The evening takes its title from the old Marian path: to Jesus, through Mary.
