National Blue Army Shrine of Our Lady of Fatima, Ausbury, NJ

National Blue Army Shrine of our Lady of Fatima

The National Blue Army Shrine of Our Lady of Fatima is a Catholic Shrine and retreat center operated by the World Apostolate of Fatima USA and dedicated to the message of Our Lady of Fatima. Pilgrims and retreatants alike come to take advantage of our peaceful setting for prayer and meditation.
Nestled within 150 acres of scenic farmland, the National Blue Army Shrine of Our Lady of Fatima, dedicated to the Immaculate Heart of Mary, was built in 1978 as a response to Our Lord’s question to Sister Lucia:
“What is being done to spread devotion to the Immaculate Heart of My Mother?”
The Shrine’s purpose is to be a point-of-contact where people can encounter Our Lady of Fatima’s message of prayer, repentance, and conversion.
