Fatima group has election Masses

The St. Louis Division of the World Apostolate of Fatima will sponsor a vigil of Masses on election day, Nov. 4, at St. George Church in Affton. All are welcome and encouraged to attend.

The effort was organized in response to the Missouri bishops’ request for prayers for the elections and for the United States, said Mary Broome, president of the St. Louis Division of the World Apostolate of Fatima.

Masses will be offered by a different priest each hour from 6 a.m. until the closing Mass at 7 p.m. at St. George, 4980 Heege Road in the Gardenville neighborhood of Affton. The recitation of the Rosary will follow each Mass.

Bishop Robert Hermann, archdiocesan administrator, will celebrate 10 a.m. Mass.

At each hour, there will be a personal consecration to the Immaculate Heart of Mary, patroness of the United States.
