The National Pilgrim Virgin Statue of Our Lady of Fatima, along with first-class relics of visionary Saints Jacinta and Francisco Marto, will continue visiting cathedrals and Catholic shrines across England and Wales through October 2026.
The World Apostolate of Fatima in England and Wales (WAF), which is organizing the tour, described it as an opportunity to “celebrate and spread the message of Fatima” and to renew devotion to Our Lady’s message through deeper prayer and reflection.
The initiative will bring Catholics into contact with two of the young visionaries canonized in 2017 — Jacinta and Francisco Marto — who, along with their cousin Lucia, witnessed the apparition of the Blessed Virgin Mary in 1917 at Cova da Iria.

The pilgrimage includes scheduled stops in cities such as Northampton, Birmingham, Portsmouth, Nottingham, and Leeds throughout 2025, with additional visits planned in 2026 at cathedrals from Westminster to Cardiff.
At each location, the image and relics will be available for public veneration and accompanied by prayer events and catechesis centered on the Fatima message of penance, the Rosary, and reparation.
The tour is expected to culminate with a final public event at Westminster Cathedral on Oct. 31, 2026.
