Courtney McGrailThe Irish-made film The Call to Fatima has received the backing of both the Fatima Shrine and the Portuguese government in exclusively promoting the 100th anniversary of the Fatima apparitions.
According to filmmakers Thomas and Solvita McCormack, the award-winning DVD, now translated to 12 languages, “emphasises the importance of the Fatima Message left behind by Servant of God Sr Lucia for our times”.
The support for the film means that the events at Fatima in 1917 can be brought to schools, together with free copies of Sr Lucia’s own book, Call from the Message of Fatima, which the McCormack’s hope will be of special use to teachers preparing pupils for first Holy Communion, Confession and Confirmation.
