St. Joseph Catholic Church in Hilo recently had a special guest.
The International Pilgrim Virgin Statue of Our Lady of Fatima visited the church Jan. 30.
The visit, part of the Fatima Centennial (U.S. tour for peace), included a motorcade procession from the Komohana Research and Extension Center to the church, a Mass and an exposition.
The apparition of Our Lady is believed to have appeared to three shepherd children in 1917 in Fatima, Portugal.
According to the Catholic News Agency, she appeared six times to the children between May 13 and Oct. 13, 1917.
