Reparation Society of Mary's Immaculate Heart

The society, founded in 1946 in response to the pleas of Our Lady of Fatima, was established to offer prayers asking Mary to help repair a world saddened by sin and suffering and on behalf of world peace. The parish chapter of this society meets on the first Saturday of each month and participates in the regular 12:10pm Mass, after which a special service is held during which the rosary is prayed and benediction of the Blessed Sacrament is given.
