Our Lady of Fatima Portuguese Community

Our Lady of Fatima Society was started in 1948 by Joe and Emily Dutra Morris for the purpose of establishing a public devotion to Our Lady of Fatima at St. Bernard's Catholic Church.  During this period, our society was guided under the direction of a priest and a small committee.  Later that year, Joe and Emily purchased the statue of Our Lady of Fatima.  In 2023 we celebrated the 75th anniversary of our beautiful statue of Our Lady of Fatima that still stands in our church.  In 1984, Rev. Msgr. Rocha approved the society's first officers, such as president, secretary, and treasurer.  Through the years, Our Lady of Fatima Society has helped St. Bernard's financially, additionally providing support to many charitable endeavors.
