The word “Apostle” is associated with Bible times, with a group of the best disciples of Christ who were chosen to build the Church. However, the call to be Apostle is addressed to all people – each of us is to proclaim Christ with his life – as Our woman reminds us in the Fatima Revelations. And in order to gather and activate His best disciples surviving here and now, the Apostle Fatima was formed.
In 2003, the Association of Fr Piotr Skargi decided to establish a peculiar community. Recognizing the fresh dangers that hung over the Catholic religion in Poland, a group of young Catholics from Krakow established a spiritual family, thanks to which the contemporary Apostles will be able to join forces, strengthen each another with their attitude and support crucial spiritual and social campaigns, saving the Tradition and Catholic identity of our Homeland.
The Apostolic of Fatima is made up of people. People who are unique, unusual, about fascinating passions and unique stories of life, who are committed to defending Christian values and proclaiming the Message of Fatima. Below we present the testimonies of any of them, which show how amazing people can be met in this community, what support in life's difficulties to receive and how beautiful moments to experience!

Apostolate in Pilgrimage
The Apostle of Fatima, Mrs.Zofia Miernicek, is an avid pilgrim – she has already visited respective continents while she is on her way. She began with the sanctuaries of Saint Father Pio in San Giovanni Rotondo and St Rita in Cascia. Later came the time for the first non-European pilgrimage. The choice was given to Lebanon and the sanctuary of Saint Charbel located in Annaya.
Another memorable event was a journey to North America, specifically Mexico. Mrs.Sofia was amazed there that in Mexico virtually in all church 1 can find a lagievnicki image of “Jesus I trust You” and a painting depicting St.John Paul II. There is simply a large love for the Pope from Poland, and there are 2 monuments of Our woman of Guadalupe outside.
And this is not the only Pole worshipped outside our country. The cult of St. Maximilian Maria Kolbe is inactive alive in Japan, as Sophia mentions: – In 2019 I was in Japan on a pilgrimageunder the heading “The Traces of St. Colby’s Father”. Going there, I did not know that St Maximilian was so active in his activities in Japan, that in Nagasaki he created nipponese Niepokalanów, opened a printery and published a paper like “The Knight of the Immaculate”. It is.there inactive the Polish church and parish priest. During his time here, we met a nipponese tv crew that shot a movie about him on the occasion of another anniversary of Kolbe's father's death..
Under Mary’s care he did not succumb to the Nazis and the Communists
When planet War II began, Mr Witold Zboralski was 7 years old. In 1943 the Germans intended to bring him into Hitlerjugend. He refused to answer that he was Polish and so could not be German. This consequence angered the Gestapo so much that they beat him. The escape with life from the hands of Nazi torturers and a happy return to the parents surviving in Bydgoszcz Mr.Witold attributes the care of Our Lady.
But the end of the war did not mean the end of his problems. During the communist period, Mr Witold was repeatedly released and transferred to another workplaces due to the irregularities in business activities and the deficiency of consent to paper counterfeiting.
– I did my work socially, for the sake of the people, but besides patrioticly, in order to regain the lost sovereignty and independency of the Homeland. Only after nearly 40 years from these events did I receive a letter from the president of NSZZ “Solidarity” with “Ryngraph of Solidarity”, the image of the Eagle in the Crown and the words “God, Honor, Homeland” which were and are the basis of my life.
Mr. Witold has been the Apostle of Fatima since 2011. His Apostle is appreciated and even admired by his loved ones. They approve of specified an old age. Among his friends, he speaks with satisfaction about his participation in the Apostle's, and he is pleased to show his received souvenirs and gifts – among another things, a beautiful Fatiman rosary.
It is simply a community for me besides – I join the Apostolic of Fatima!

In addition to large prayer support and gifts, the chosen Apostles of Fatima go on a pilgrimage to Fatima twice a year. In 2022 the conventional pilgrimage to the Shrine of Fatima was held at the end of September. So says 1 of the contestants, Joanna Opara:
Our journey showed that, in addition to our sensitivity, our Pilgrims besides have large perseverance. We walked the Way of the Cross between stone oaks and rocky paths. We walked along a way that the shepherds returned home from pastures, the alleged “shelf trail”. The apostles helped 1 another, we served 1 another with arm and support. It was very touching and uplifting at the same time erstwhile we saw how prayer, common support and aid were offered on the stone paths, but besides effort and effort.
We besides visited the Basilica of Our woman of the Rosary from Fatima with an awesome colonnade and a beautiful figure of the Immaculate Heart of Mary performed strictly according to the instructions of Sister Lucia. However, the most spiritual experience for me was the evening common rosary and procession with the figure of Our woman of Fatima. A crowd of people gathered around the Apparition Chapel made a large impression. It was a late evening lit only by candle flames and warmed with warm beating from praying hearts. Multilingual prayer, like 1 voice from which nationalities could not even be detected – so many were there, ascended under clouds and heaven. The zeal of prayer warmed each of the hearts gathered, carried pilgrims wandering on their knees in their intentions before the figure of the Fatiman Lady.
Join the Apostolic of Fatima, and you will be able to experience specified beautiful moments!
