INVITATION TO THE SHRINE OF THE IMMACULATE HEART OF MARY IN PONTEVEDRA, SPAIN October 27-30, 2017 

Please be informed that the National President and the National Secretary of the WAF SPAIN, have requested today: 16 Oct 2017, the postponing of the International Seminary of the WAF international to be held in the House of Pontevedra by the end of October. 

This is because the works of remodelling of the House of Pontevedra will not be finished before the seminar. It is with deep regret that we have to communicate this. Some difficulties  impeded the planned termination. We will communicate the new dates with sufficient anticipation for your planning. 

May we offer this unfortunate setback for the coming triumph of her Immaculate Heart and the full remodelling  of her House in Pontevedra.

In Christ and Mary Queen,

INVITATION TO ALL NATIONAL LEADERS OF THE WORLD APOSTOLATE OF FATIMA, MEMBERS, LAY PEOPLE, MEMBERS OF THE CLERGY:

“ONE HUNDRED YEARS OF GRACE AND MERCY”

It is with great joy that I convoke you to attend a Seminar on the Immaculate Heart of Mary, its Message in Pontevedra (“the forgotten part of the Message of Fatima”) and all you need to know about the World Apostolate of Fatima, a new foundation approved by the Holy See as an international public association of the faithful of pontifical right, devoted to its Mission, the New Evangelization of the world, using the perfect echo of the Gospel of Jesus Christ, the Message of Fatima, through the formation of our families.

  The seminar will be offered at the Pontifical Shrine of the Immaculate Heart of Mary in Pontevedra, Spain, one of the most sacred places in the world, where the Sacred Heart of Infant Jesus and the Immaculate Heart of Mary appeared to request the First Saturdays Devotion, so crucial for the definitive triumph of the Immaculate Heart of Mary.

From October 27-30, 2017, I will conduct this seminar of formation open to anyone wanting to discover the marvels of Pontevedra, its spirituality and message, as from this place, “the light that came out of Her heart was Jesus himself”, transforming the hearts of the little children shepherds forever. “This light which is Jesus himself,” should transform our hearts too, through the Immaculate Heart of the spiritual Mother of humanity.

Fr. Carlos Cabeçinhas, Rector of Shrine of Our Lady of Fatima will attend the seminar and will contribute to enrich us all.  We are renewing the International Seminars in Pontevedra!
This is our first effort to certify our leaders in the necessary formation for our Apostolate, providing the necessary knowledge about the pontifical documents of the WAF, the decrees, philosophical and theological principles, the work of the Secretariat, our folkways and mores, heritage and traditions, liturgies, apostolic endeavors and programs, ethics, cult and devotion to the Immaculate Heart of Mary, new developments of the Message of Fatima and the coming of the definitive triumph of the Immaculate Heart of Mary.

For more information and reservations please contact the WAF-Spain National Secretariat at  secretarianacional.amfe.ansfe@gmail.com

We need to start the Internationalization of the Shrine of Pontevedra, where the InternationalnApostolate was founded, discovering its importance and unique role. Our International Board will have its own mini-seminar in this same place next November. But those wanting to participate are more than welcome.
