1. About the Confraternity and This Website
The Confraternity of Our Lady of Fatima is a worldwide family of Catholics dedicated to hastening the Triumph of the Immaculate Heart of Mary. The Confraternity does business as My Catholic Cause and operates under the apostolate of MyCatholicCause.com, a recognized 501(c)(3) organization in the United States. This website is provided to share the message of Our Lady of Fatima, to invite people to become members, to offer prayer and devotional resources, and to receive gifts that support our work.
2. Religious and Educational Content
The prayers, articles, news posts, question-and-answer posts, videos and other resources on this website are offered for devotion, education and encouragement. They are not a substitute for the teaching authority of the Church, for the sacraments, or for the guidance of your own pastor or spiritual director. If you have a question about your own moral or spiritual situation, please speak with a priest.
3. Membership
Membership in the Confraternity is free. There is no fee to join. The prayers and good works that members promise are voluntary spiritual commitments made to the best of the member’s ability and not under pain of any sin. Joining the Confraternity does not create a contract or any legal obligation between you and the Confraternity. We may update our membership materials from time to time, and we may remove a person from our member lists on request.
4. Donations and Gifts
Gifts to the Confraternity are voluntary. You can give online through our donation page, which is processed by Givebutter, a third-party service. You can also give by mail, by phone, in memory of a loved one, through our Servant of Mary monthly giving program, through planned giving, or by transferring stock. Details are on our Ways to Give page.
Our Ways to Give page states that contributions are tax-deductible in the United States and that a receipt for tax purposes is issued for each contribution. Tax rules differ from person to person, so please consult your own adviser about your situation. If you have a question about a gift you have made, or about how a gift will be used, please contact us using the details below.
