Our Lady of Fatima Portuguese Parish in Vancouver is holding a special mass for Our Lady Aparecida who is the Patroness of Brazil. For a little bit of history, please click here.
As the attendance of our Brazilian cousins at the parish in Vancouver has grown over the years, it’s only fitting to celebrate Our Lady Aparecida on her special 300th anniversary. This mass will be in Portuguese and take place on Sunday, October 15th at 11:30 am.
A Brazilian patron of the parish has kindly donated a replica of Our Lady Aparecida and it will become a regular fixture among the church’s iconic relics and statues. Everyone is invited to attend this special 300th Anniversary for Our Lady of Aparecida.
