The visitation to St Agatha in Kingston upon Thames, Surrey has truly been a historical one. Those who came to this weekend's celebration were both from local and neighbouring parishes within the Deanery and beyond. There was even a pilgrim from the Diocese of Northampton. Both Fr Francis Olaseni, MSP and PP of St Agatha, and Fr Peter Akor, MSP and asst PP, received the NPVS of Our Lady of Fàtima and the Relics of Ss Francisco and Jacinta Marto. Fr Peter crowned and blessed the Pilgrim Statue. The parishioners' commitment and love for Our Lord and Our Lady shone through with the preparedness exhibited from the preparations to the procession to the serving of non-stop tea/coffee during the day to the decorations of the bier and the altar. It is worthy of note that the parish already has an established First Saturdays Devotion programme. It is hoped that participation on this programme will increase as this is Heaven's Peace Plan for our world today. It is hoped that the Home Pilgrim Virgin Statue Visitation programme will be established in the parish as one of the legacies of this weekend's celebration. St Agatha , pray for us. Ss Francisco and Jacinta , pray for us. Our Lady of Fàtima , pray for us

Nestled along Boniface Walk in Harrow stands a true hidden gem the St. Thérèse of the Child Jesus Catholic Church. On a beautiful spring day, 25 April 2026 (the Feast of St Mark), the parish was graced by a very special visit: the National Pilgrim Virgin Statue of Our Lady of Fatima , accompanied by the relics of Saint Francisco Marto and Saint Jacinta Marto. The parish community, led by Fr Antonio Pineda, gave Our Lady a heartfelt welcome. The celebration began with a joyful procession, bringing together parishioners and visitors. The statue, beautifully adorned with vibrant flowers, was carried into the church by Confirmation candidates. She was then crowned and honoured with incense, together with the relics of the Fatima saints. It was truly a grace-filled day. Visitors came from near and far, including the parish of Our Lady of the Holy Souls Church. Many stayed to take part in the full programme, which included: The praying of the Holy Rosary, Divine Mercy Chaplet and the Chaplet of Adoration and Reparation; A recorded talk by Sister Angela Coelho on the lives of the Fatima saints; Enrolment and investiture of the Brown Scapular; Veneration of the sacred relics; The visit concluded on 26 April during the 10:00 AM Mass. A beautiful moment of reconsecration to the Immaculate Heart of Mary took place, alongside the launch of the Home Pilgrim Virgin Statue Visitation Programme (HPVS) . The first family was blessed to receive the statue and welcome Our Lady into their home. With the launch of HPVS, the parish looks forward to deepening devotion through the First Saturday Devotion and other initiatives of the World Apostolate of Fatima England and Wales. In doing so, they can fully embrace the message of Our Lady of Fatima. Ave Maria!
