Recap: Fatima and the Holy Face Conference

This event took place on Saturday, December 14, 2024, in Burlington, Kentucky.

A heartfelt thanks to all who supported this very successful event. Nearly one-hundred people were in attendance. Many left inspired to spread devotion to Our Lord's Holy Face and Our Lady's Fatima Message. Both of these devotions are essential spiritual elements for crushing the forces of evil dominating the world and for ushering in a glorious (and miraculous!) Catholic restoration in the future. Many Catholic resources were distributed, including sacramentals, prayer cards, veils, books and audio talks. Father Carney autographed copies of his books and provided spiritual advice.

Audio from David Rodríguez's talk:

Three Fatima Miracles [NKY - Part One] View description ▼ Every Catholic should be familiar with the Message Our Lady gave the world at Fatima on July 13, 1917. In addition to the Miracle of the Sun, Our Lady has already provided many miracles to prove her words. Three such great historical events occurred in Portugal (1930s), Austria (1950s) and Brazil (1960s). A fourth could be included from Japan (1940s). These should inspire us with confidence and trust, so that Catholics will obey Our Lady en masse.

The End of the Fifth Age [NKY - Part Two] View description ▼ Ven. Holzhuaser divides the life of the Church into seven ages. We are living at the end of the fifth age, the age of tribulation, which is began circa 1517 and is filled with revolution against God. The only solution for our times is being faithful to the Message of Fatima. The Consecration of Russia and First Saturday devotion are the means by which God will usher in the sixth age, the Age of Consolation and the Triumph of the Immaculate Heart of Mary. Also addressed: The truth of Our Lady's prophecy that a worse war, signaled by an unknown light, would begin under Pius IX. Why Pius XII consecration of the world (31 Oct 1942) was not a fulfillment of Our Lady of Fatima's request.

Highlights from Father Carney's conference:

If there is only one thing I want you take away from this conference, it is this: "The Importance of disposing yourself to God so that He will infuse you with His holiness."

"We need heroic fraternal charity towards the enemies of God."

"Reparation is repairing the damage between God and man."

The Holy Face Devotion is a 'force multiplier' enabling a few dedicated spiritual warriors to defeat a much larger army of the enemies of Christ.

Highlights from David Rodríguez's conference:

[1] Our Lady appeared at Fatima in response to a request by Pope Benedict XV.
[2] Three miracles of Our Lady of Fatima: [1] in Portugal, 1931; [2] in Austria, 1955; and [3] in Brazil, 1964.
[3] Confusion regarding Pius XII's consecration of the world (31 October 1942) is easily resolved.
[4] The importance of Our Lady's prophecy regarding the "unknown light" (25 January 1938) should not be underestimated.
[5] As per Venerable Holzhauser (+1658), we are at the end of the Fifth Age of Church history (not at the end of time).
[6] Our Lady of Fatima is aptly foreshadowed by Queen Esther of the Old Testament.

"My soul to God.
My life my King.
My heart to Mary.
My honor to myself."


You are cordially invited to a one day conference sponsored by the St. Vincent Ferrer Foundation. See schedule below.

Come hear Fr. Lawrence Carney speak on the powerful connections between the Message of Fatima and the Holy Face devotion. Both are heavenly solutions to the terrible crisis afflicting our times. In the afternoon, David Rodríguez will discuss key aspects of the Fatima Event which reveal the work of Divine Providence. These 'signs of the times' indicate that we are not at The End of Time but that we are at the end of an age. Catholics can no longer afford to remain unaware of them.
