Did OL of Fatima have a bookstore that these come from? I assume they're not from the Chapel itself? Last edited by JBenedict; 07/15/14 10:24 AM. Reason: format/spelling

Yes, there used be a bookstore at OLF when I visited years back, but I am not sure if these icons were from the bookstore. A few years ago before moving to its present location, the chapel did undergo a "makeover" in which many icons were removed from the walls and the interior looked "less Russian". I wonder if it is these icons that are being sold. I am sure one of our fellow Forum members who attend OLF can provide an explanation.

I's be interested in what MaryLouise might be able to tell us once she's had an opportunity to inquire further. Many years, Neil "One day all our ethnic traits ... will have disappeared. Time itself is seeing to this. And so we can not think of our communities as ethnic parishes, ... unless we wish to assure the death of our community."

I am not for sure when. We use to take the bookstore out to a number of catholic conferences in the past We have not done that for quite some time due to the expense, and commitment by parishioners to be involved in fund raising efforts. Also, one of the events moved to Santa Clara. However, I hopeful that in the future that we will move forward and become more involved in such events. I hope that assures people. These were not icons that had been blessed and used in our chapel.
