This year we Xaverian Missionaries at Fatima Shrine would like to initiate something new. We are well aware that it takes many hands and hearts to make the mission ministry happen at Fatima Shrine. From hospitality, to parking cars, to planning events and more, whether they are members of the Xaverian Missionary League, the Banquet Committee, the Advisory Board and more... it takes a village.
