About Our Lady

No figure in Catholic history has been more consistently present at the great turning points of civilization than the Blessed Virgin Mary. From Fatima to Guadalupe, from Loreto to Quito, Our Lady has appeared, warned, guided, and protected — always pointing her children back to her Son and to the Faith He established.

The TFP has a deep and particular devotion to Our Lady. Her Immaculate Heart, her apparitions, her intercession, and her role in the Counter-Revolution are central to our mission. At Fatima she promised that her Immaculate Heart would triumph — and we believe her.

Explore our articles on Our Lady’s apparitions, prophecies, novenas, and her role in Catholic history and the defense of Christian civilization.
