This doesn’t make sense. What good does it do to send roses to a shrine?

It makes sense to Catholics to honor the Mother of God, in this case, the Marian apparitions which occurred at Fatima, Portugal, in 1917. The Roses are a way to honor those apparitions and show filial devotion, just as any good son or daughter respects and honors their mother.

One rose to be sent for each Rosary Square event, Rosary Bowl event.

The American Needs Fatima ministry would like to have that many Rosary Squares, Rosary Bowls scheduled.

One rose for each scheduled event will be sent to the Fatima Shrine and a memento of what happened in America.

A dead sinner won’t help anyone.

Only Christ can do this.
