CKB 2/26/12 First Sunday of Lent, Blessed Francisco and Jacinta Marto, Mark 1:12-15

Blessed Francisco and Jacinta Marto and the vision at Fatima

This week's Mass bulletin and activity page features coloring pages for Blessed Francisco and Jacinta Marto and Mark 1:12-15, Jesus resisting temptation in the desert. 

Head over here to see an activity page for Ash Wednesday.

The coloring page of the vision at Fatima includes 3 children, but only two are named because I ddint' want to make things more complicated for the children.  But, here is the explanation if they ask about the third child.  Blessed Francisco and Jacinta Marto were small children (ages 9 and 7) when they saw a vision of the Blessed Mary at Fatima.  They were with their cousin Lucia dos Santos who also saw the visions and later joined a convent as a Discalced Carmelite.  Blessed Francisco and Jacinta both passed away as children, but Lucia lived to be 97 and only passed away in 2005.
