Our Lady of Fatima Mission is a Traditional Roman Catholic mission church founded in Greenville, SC in June of 2020. We are a Traditional Catholic parish, rejecting the changes of Vatican II and adhering firmly to the unchangeable Catholic Faith as taught by all true Popes, from St. Peter to Pius XII, and are not affiliated with the modernist “Diocese of Charleston”. Because of our faithfulness to the Catholic Church of the ages, we reject the Modernist church of Vatican II with all its teachings, liturgical rites, and disciplines. We reject John XXIII, Paul VI, John Paul I, John Paul II, Benedict XVI, and Francis as illegitimate usurpers of the papal office and believe that there is currently no Pope reigning in the Catholic Church (sede vacante).
The clergy serving Our Lady of the Fatima Mission are affiliated with the Congregatio Mariae Reginae Immaculatae (CMRI), or Congregation of Mary Immaculate Queen, a Roman Catholic religious order consisting of Priests, Brothers, and Sisters dedicated to preserving the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass and the Traditional Catholic Faith. It was founded in 1967 in Coeur d'Alene, Idaho, and is headquartered in Spokane, Washington, as well as Omaha, Nebraska.
The CMRI is responsible for over 50 traditional Catholic churches and Mass centers both in the U.S. and abroad, a number of schools staffed by religious, several publications, and a comprehensive online Catholic store. Read more about how these traditional Catholic Priests, Brothers, and Sisters live and spread the Catholic Faith and the Fatima Message by accessing their web site here. Please see also the Theological Position of the CMRI and information about the validity and lawfulness of the clergy ordained in the line of Bishop Pierre-Martin Ngo-Dinh-Thuc: ThucBishops.com.
Although still a small mission church, Our Lady of Fatima is growing rapidly. We are located near beautiful Greenville, SC, a vibrant city nestled in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains and an ideal place to continue the propagation of the True Faith in the southeastern United States. Currently Mass is hosted the second and fourth Saturdays of the month in a steel building on the property of a parishioner. Our goal is to be an established Traditional Catholic Parish and school with frequent Mass offerings and a robust agenda of prayer and parish life activities.
