ORATORY

 

1954 - The oratory of Our Lady of Fatima is located opposite the basilica on the western side and was the brain child of

            Msgr. Placidus Edward (Eddie) Fernandes.

            It was built as a memorial  of the Marian Congress held in Bombay from the 4th - 8th December 1954.

           After climbing 38 steps, devotees come face to face with a beautiful 6 1/2  foot marble statue of Our Lady

           of  Fatima holding a rosary in her hands.

           Cast upon the walls of the oratory is the sevenfold message of Our Lady, viz. prayer, penance, meditation,

           peace, rosary, reparation and sacrifice.

           At night, a glow emanating from the burning of wax offerings atop this shrine is often visible from far off.
