Rosary Pond which is a part of one of the largest outdoor rosaries in the world.

During the warm weather months, thousands come to this national shrine daily.  It is a popular place for prayer, retreat, and photographic opportunities.  

Established in 1954, fashioned after the Fatima of Lisbon, Portugal, this country devotional center of over 15 acres is operated by the Barnabite Fathers.  The Barnabites are an international order of Catholic priests with their North American Mother House and Seminary located just to the west of the Shrine property.  Fatima USA is open to the public every day of the year.

There are daily devotions conducted here every day of the year.  Some of the events during a typical month include Mass in the Fatima Basilica (Daily), Rosary & Benediction, Healing Services, First Saturday Devotions, and Pilgrimages.   Additionally, all the services of a Catholic Church are available here including (daily) Confessions.  See Information Guide on next page.
