Note to Newcomers

Welcome to the Shrine of Our Lady of the Rosary of Fatima & St. Cajetan Roman Catholic Church located in Weeki Wachee, Florida. The clergy and parishioners of the Shrine adhere firmly to the unchangeable Catholic Faith as taught by all true Popes, from St. Peter to Pope Pius XII. 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 gladly welcome visitors and newcomers and invite you to join us after Sunday Mass for light refreshments. At the same time, we respectfully remind them that to receive Our Lord in Holy Communion, one must be:​

• A baptized Catholic free from any mortal sin committed since one’s last Confession

• Fasting for three hours from any food and/or alcoholic beverage

• One hour from any other beverage except water
