Promoting and Preserving the message of Fatima.
About Operation Fatima
Our Intentions
At Operation Fatima, our mission is to promote and preserve the Sacred Message of Fatima.
Our aim is to educate, inspire and enable parishes through our dedicated products and resources.
Our History
Our home parish of Our Lady of Grace in Encino California
When we approached the Pastor of Our Lady of Grace in Encino, California, many years ago with our proposal to hold a mass and rosary procession to honor the apparitions of Fatima, we had no idea how much this event would grow.
Currently we hold a mass and rosary procession on the 13th of each month of the apparitions. Starting on May 13th through the final apparition on October 13th.
This is our 6th year holding processions at Our Lady of Grace. What started out at around 60-75 participants has grown to well over 200 each rosary procession.
It is our goal to have as many people as we can, praying the rosary, to honor Fatima's message, on the same day all over the world.
Lofty? Yes!. Possible? Absolutely! And Our Lady's message is worth it!

Who Are We
Ordinary Parishioners doing extraordinary things through the help of the Blessed Virgin Mary
At Operation Fatima, we believe that spreading the devotion of Fatima to as many parish's as we can, will further the message that Our Lady delivered in 1917.

Gina was a working actor for many years and appeared in several national commercials and TV shows. Out of a very unpredictable career, her faith in the Virgin Mary and recitation of the rosary grew. Eventually, losing all desire for personal success and accolades. She decided to focus on her other career as a surgery scheduler and clinical administrator at UCLA. She gets greater satisfaction and purpose in serving others. This is all a result of finding her true purpose through prayer and devotion.
After a health scare in 2021. And with true grit and unwavering trust, she was able to surrender herself to God’s plan for her.
Since then, she has done several pilgrimages to some of the most sacred places in the world including Fatima's 100-year anniversary and Lourdes.
In Many ways “Operation Fatima” is an extension of her ever-growing faith, that devotion to the prayer of the rosary, reparation and conversion can bring about.
