Shrine adopts winter schedule on November 1

Some celebrations' times and locations are adjusted for the new season.

Several celebrations at the Shrine of Fatima will change in time and location when the winter schedule takes effect.

The changes begin on November 1 and remain in place until Easter.

From Monday through Friday, the 11:00 a.m. Mass will be celebrated in the Basilica of Our Lady of the Rosary of Fatima (BNSRF), and on weekends in the Basilica of the Most Holy Trinity (BSST). The Sunday 12:30 p.m. Mass at the Chapel of the Apparitions will now be held daily, and on Sundays the 4:30 p.m. Mass moves to the BSST.

At the Chapel of the Apparitions, the 2:00 p.m. Rosary, also known as the Hour of Reparation to the Immaculate Heart of Mary, will no longer be held daily and will take place only on Saturdays and Sundays at the same time. The 4:00 p.m. Rosary, which in the summer is recited on Saturdays and Sundays, will be recited only on Sundays on the winter schedule.

Vespers will be celebrated on Sundays at 5:30 p.m. in the BNSRF.

On certain occasions, such as Christmas, Lent, and Holy Week, the schedule of celebrations will undergo specific changes, which will be announced in due course.
