For this reason every morning at the lineup was explained part of the message of Fatima. Heavy emphasis is placed on the need for each to recite the five decades of the Rosary daily as well as sacrifices for the conversion of sinners, for reparation for the sins against the Sacred and Immaculate Hearts as well as the wearing of the scapular and miraculous medal. Not only is there the need to know but the need to do. We wish to share with all our program for this.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Monthly Program<br \/>\n<\/strong>September 2016 \u2014 Consecration of School to Immaculate Heart of Mary on September 12. Each class had to present an image of Our Lady of Fatima with one of the quotes from Our Lady or the Angel and this is in the classrooms. Presentations of plays based on apparitions of Our Lady of Fatima.<br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-4072\" src=\"https:\/\/test4.mi-backup.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/news733e-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/test4.mi-backup.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/news733e-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/test4.mi-backup.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/news733e.jpg 330w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/>October 2016 \u2014 Month of Holy Rosary, begin pilgrim statue of Our Lady of Fatima Our Lady visits one classroom per week. The statue of Our Lady of Fatima was transferred by procession carried by priest accompanied by teachers and students into a classroom with prepared altar with flower, candles and continuously burning votive lamp. The Rosary is recited with teachers and students ending with Fatima prayers and the ejaculatory prayers and ending with a blessing from the priest.<br \/>\nNovember 2016 \u2014 Presentation of play \u201cOur Lady of Fatima\u201d presented to faithful of Our Lady of Victories Church.<br \/>\nJanuary 2017 \u2014 To solemnize the beginning of this Jubilee year of 2017 (100 years since the apparitions of Fatima and the foundation of the M.I.) the entire student body and teachers and some parents made a procession every morning for nine consecutive mornings. The <em>Veni Creator<\/em> was intoned by the priest vested in cope, followed by the incensing of the statue of Our Lady of Fatima and then the procession around the school while reciting the first part of the Holy Rosary.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Daily Program<\/strong><br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignright wp-image-4073 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/test4.mi-backup.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/news733f-300x169.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"169\" srcset=\"https:\/\/test4.mi-backup.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/news733f-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/test4.mi-backup.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/news733f.jpg 330w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/>Every Morning \u2014 attendance at Holy Mass and Communion of Reparation. Lineup \u2014 Points given on apparitions of Fatima for a practical application.<br \/>\nThe Holy Rosary is a very simple beautiful prayer that takes 20 minutes. It can be difficult to find a 20 minute block in the school day but also for the attention span of the children (especially the little ones) is rather short. In order to alleviate this we split up the Rosary into four different times which serves to also reminder to live in the presence of Our Lady during the day.<br \/>\nBefore the start of first class period \u2014 first part of rosary and first decade with petitions followed by prayers of Fatima. After morning recreation \u2014 2nd decade. After lunch \u2014 3rd decade. After afternoon recreation \u2014 4th and 5th decade.<br \/>\nI might add that our high school boys pray also the five decades in the evening in order to increase for the Rosary Crusade.<br \/>\nIt has been noted by many that there are not very many schools in the world where both teachers and students and parents benefit from so many blessings by having the benefit of the Holy Mass everyday but also the recitation of the Holy Rosary on a daily basis.<\/p>\n<p>I wish many blessings during this special Jubilee Year of Fatima and the M.I.<\/p>\n<p><i>Fr.
