In the face of the tremendous crisis now afflicting the Catholic Church, the Confraternity of Our Lady of Fatima is launching a worldwide spiritual crusade consisting in the daily prayer of the Holy Rosary and the practice of the Five First Saturdays to implore, through the Immaculate Heart of Mary, God’s help and intervention, particularly for the Holy See in Rome.
This spiritual crusade will begin on the first Saturday of January 2024 (January 6) and conclude on the first Saturday of December 2024 (December 7).
At Fatima, Our Lady gave us the prayer of the Rosary and the practice of the Five First Saturdays as an effective spiritual means to obtain special divine favors.
The practice of the First Five Saturdays consists in the following: on the first Saturday of five consecutive months, to receive the sacrament of Confession and Holy Communion, pray the Rosary, and meditate for fifteen minutes on at least one of the fifteen mysteries of the Rosary, with the intention of making reparation for the sins against the Immaculate Heart of Mary.

This is a movement that will unify the Universal Church in a Crusade to beg God to intervene in history, and as a member of the Lay Faithful, you can become an instrument of intercession, praying to God for your Mother Church to be saved from the enemies within that seek to destroy Her.
You can also make a pivotal impact by sharing this Crusade with your family, friends, and your parish.
Note: Even if you have already completed the Five First Saturdays, please do it again in 2024.
If you would like to lead others at this moment in history of asking God to intervene for His Church, consider becoming a Captain of a group that will commit to Five consecutive First Saturdays for this intention.
We were made to be in communion with one another which is why we encourage you to complete this devotion together, supporting one another as Catholics all over the world pray to God to save our Mother Church from the enemies within.
This devotion needs authentically Catholic priests who can make the Sacraments available every first Saturday throughout the year of 2024.
If you are a Catholic priest who can offer Confession and Holy Mass every first Saturday throughout the year or already do, please let us know.
We are in desperate need of holy Shepherds who have given their lives to administer the Holy Sacraments to the sheep.
We need founders and leaders of Catholic organizations to form an alliance with the Confraternity for the crusade to be truly global.
We want every Catholic to have a chance to join in this Crusade to ask God to intervene.
Reach out here and set up a meeting to discuss the possibility of an alliance.
Kyrie Eleison! Christe Eleison! Kyrie Eleison! Lord Jesus Christ, You are the Good Shepherd! With your almighty hand you guide Your pilgrim Church through the storms of each age.
Adorn the Holy See with holy popes who neither fear the powerful of this world nor compromise with the spirit of the age, but preserve, strengthen, and defend the Catholic Faith unto the shedding of their blood, and observe, protect, and hand on the venerable liturgy of the Roman Church.
O Lord, return to us through holy popes who, inflamed with the zeal of the Apostles, proclaim to the whole world: “Salvation is found in no other than in Jesus Christ. For there is no other name under heaven given to men by which they should be saved” (see Acts 4:10-12).
Through an era of holy popes, may the Holy See—which is home to all who promote the Catholic and Apostolic Faith— always shine as the cathedra of truth for the whole world. Hear us, O Lord, and through the intercession of the Immaculate Heart of Mary, Mother of the Church, grant us holy Popes, grant us many holy Popes! Have mercy on us and hear us! Amen.
