Saturday, July 6th at Gate of Heaven - Fatima First Saturday Devotions Every First Saturday in the Back Mountain from June to October 2019—9 a.m Mass
The First Saturdays Devotion (also called the Act of Reparation to the Immaculate Heart of Blessed Virgin Mary) is a Catholic devotion which, according to Lucia of Fatima, was requested by the Virgin Mary in an apparition at Pontevedra, Spain in December 1925. The pious practice of honoring the Blessed Virgin Mary on Saturday is an ancient custom, derived from the tradition that Jesus appeared to her on Holy Saturday. This devotion is approved by the Roman Catholic Church.
When Lucia Santos experienced the Pontevedra apparitions of the Blessed Virgin Mary, she heard the promise to grant great graces, especially at the hour of death, in particular the salvation of the soul, for the believer who, for Five Consecutive Saturdays of the Month (5 Saturdays in 5 months) receives Holy Communion and practic- es the following exercises as an Act of Reparation to the Immaculate Heart of the Blessed Virgin Mary: Sacramental Confession , Receive Holy Communion within 24 hours of the first Saturday of the Month, Reciting the rosary with the intention of making reparation.
