On Sunday, July 16th, The Most Reverend Michael F. Burbidge, Bishop of Arlington, made a stop at Fairfax Memorial Park to bless the newly-installed statue of Our Lady of Fatima. Following the blessing, Bishop Burbidge led those present in the recitation of the Rosary.
The statue, sculpted after the image of the renown International Pilgrim Virgin Fatima statue (with the exception of the crown), currently resides in the cemetery's new "Rosary Garden."
Fairfax Memorial Park is a family-owned and operated cemetery located in Fairfax, Virginia. It was initially opened to provide a burial site for Catholics in the area and was consecrated under the direction of Bishop Ireton. The cemetery was founded by Cornelius H. Doherty, Sr. and is currently run by his grandson.
