MALVERN, Penn., June 20, 2014 /Christian Newswire/ -- "Many people are interested in Fatima, but have not heard all of the facts," said Fr. Andrew Apostoli, C.F.R., frequent host on Eternal World Television Network (EWTN). "We are approaching the 100th Anniversary of this great apparition, with an urgent Marian message of peace for the world." Fr. Apostoli will be providing spiritual insight to these statements as attendees of his retreat from July 11-13, 2014, explore "Why is the Message of Fatima So Relevant for Your Life & Family Now?" at Malvern Retreat House.

Fr. Andrew Apostoli, a founding member of Franciscan Friars of the Renewal, is a popular retreat director known for his teaching, preaching, parish missions, and insightful spiritual direction. As the author of numerous books, including Fatima for Today and Following Mary to Jesus: Our Lady as Mother, Teacher, and Advocate, and host of EWTN's Our Lady of Fatima and the First Saturday Devotion, he has extensive knowledge on the Fatima Message to share at Malvern Retreat House for all generations of people. "Even Pope John Paul II himself said that Fatima is more important now than it was in 1917," said Fr. Apostoli.

The Fatima Message continues to intrigue Catholics to this day. On July 13, 1917, the Blessed Virgin Mary appeared to three Portuguese children entrusting them with three secrets. The first secret revealed was a vision of Hell. The second secret was a statement that World War I would end, but with the prediction of another war (World War II), and the request for Russia to be consecrated to the Immaculate Heart. The third secret was the attempted assassination by gunshot of Pope John Paul II in 1981.

Fr. Apostoli's retreat will not only clearly explain the Message of Fatima, but also share how you and your family can bring peace to the world so that Our Lady's promise is achieved. "If you want to learn about Our Lady's message, and what you can do to help speed up the fulfillment of Our Lady's promises at Fatima, especially the Triumph and an era of Peace that she said will come when enough people do what she has said, please come to the retreat," said Fr. Apostoli.
