First Saturday Devotional Group

Saturday, June 2 ~ After the 4:00 p.m. Mass ~ Devotional Cove

This devotional group’s goal is to try and repair Mary’s five wounds of her Immaculate Heart by Confession, Communion, a Rosary and a 15 minute meditation on the first Saturday of each month for five months in a row. The First Saturday Devotional Group meets the first Saturday of the month for the prayer portion of the devotion, a rosary and meditation.

The observance of the first Saturday in honor of the Immaculate Heart of Mary is intended to make reparation to it for the sins of mankind. This devotion was revealed by the Blessed Virgin to three children, Francisco, Jacinta and Lucia to whom she appeared at Fatima, Portugal, in 1917. On June 13, 1917, Our Lady specifically stated in speaking to Lucia: "Jesus wants to make use of you to make me known and loved. He wants to establish in the world devotion to my Immaculate Heart…”

The Devotion consists of:

  • Confession – within 8 days of the 1st Saturday. 
  • Communion
  • Rosary
  • 15 meditation
  • The 1st Saturday of 5 consecutive months

WHY FIVE SATURDAYS?
It is sometimes asked why Our Lady asked for Communions of reparation on five first Saturdays, instead of some other number. Our Blessed Lord answered that question when He appeared to Sr. Lucia May 29, 1930. He explained that it was because of five kinds of offenses and blasphemies against the Immaculate Heart of Mary, namely: blasphemies against her Immaculate Conception, against her perpetual virginity, against the divine and spiritual maternity of Mary, blasphemies involving the rejection and dishonoring of her images, and the neglect of implanting in the hearts of children a knowledge and love of this Immaculate Mother.
