What is a Public Association of the
Faithful?
Only a public association can receive a mission to teach Christian
doctrine in the name of the Church, promote public worship or pursue a
purpose which by nature is reserved to ecclesiastical authority (canon
301 §1). As a public association, the members act in the name of the
Church when fulfilling the purpose of the association.
Membership
The members of the World Apostolate of Fatima, spread throughout
numerous countries of the world, commit themselves to become faithful
witnesses of the Catholic faith in their own families, at work, in
their parishes and communities, participating in this way in the
New Evangelization. Membership in the organization is free. The
minimum requirement for being a member of the World Apostolate is to
make a pledge, promising to do the following:
-
To offer up every day the sacrifices
demanded by one's daily duty to the faithful observance of God's law.
(Morning Offering)
-
To say five decades of the Rosary daily
while meditating on the mysteries.

Mount Carmel as a sign of personal consecration to our Lady.
