We are blessed to have Fr. Roy Horning as our Pastor and Spiritual Director for the World Apostolate of Fatima (WAF) in Genesee County.
The World Apostolate of Fatima is a world-wide organization that was formed to fulfill Our Lady’s request that we gather together and offer reparation for sins committed against the Immaculate Heart of Mary. Our Lady of Fatima devotion was begun because of the appearance of Mary to three young children in Fatima, Portugal in 1917 and the succinct messages and instructions she left for them. First Saturday devotions were a request from Our Lady.
