Our Lady of Fatima is the Catholic title of the Blessed Virgin Mary, Mother of Jesus Christ, associated with the Marian apparitions reported in 1917 at Fatima, Portugal. The three shepherd children associated with the apparitions were Lucia dos Santos, Francisco Marto and Jacinta Marto. Our Lady of Fatima is the Heavenly Patroness of the school. Her example of faith, prayer and obedience inspires the school community in its commitment to education, service and spiritual growth.
