Dear Catholic Answers,
My grandmother received a letter from an organization called “America Needs Fatima” signed by Robert E. Ritchie, and a Father Kenneth D. Brighenti. Attached was a picture of Our Lady of Fatima, and a small red candle. The letter asked to send $17 and the candle back to the PO Box 341 Hanover PA 17331-9890. My grandmother grew up in a very devout home in Latin America, and she has a particular devotion to Our Lady. While the story of Fatima is one she is very familiar with, it is also very dear to her. Our Lady of Fatima’s story is important enough to our family, that I even learned European Portuguese in hopes of making a pilgrimage. I would like to know if this is “safe” enough for my grandmother to send a donation. Any comments would be GREATLY appreciated!
