The Movimento da Mensagem de Fátima is a canonical association of the faithful, erected by the Portuguese Episcopal Conference, based in Fátima, Portugal. It aims to know, live and spread the message of Our Lady of Fátima, offering a path of formation and apostolate marked by reparative spirituality. Its work is organised into pastoral fields: prayer, pilgrimages, and the sick. It runs retreats for people who are ill, supports pilgrims walking to the Fátima sanctuary, organises prayer and formation for children, young people and adults, and promotes the Primeiros Sábados devotion. Members join through parish, diocesan and national groups, and volunteer teams support its activities across Portugal. The movement also promotes pilgrimages to Tuy and Pontevedra in Galicia, Spain.
