First Saturdays Devotion

The First Saturdays Devotion, also called the Communion of Reparation to the Immaculate Heart of Mary, is a Catholic devotion which, according to Lúcia dos Santos, was requested by the Virgin Mary during the apparitions of Our Lady of Fátima in Fátima, Portugal, on 13 May 1917, as well as during apparitions in Pontevedra, Spain, on 10 December 1925 and February 15, 1926.[1][2]

The purpose of this devotion is to perform acts of reparation to the Immaculate Heart of Mary, and a promise of assistance at the hour of death by Mary was reportedly attached to this devotion during the Pontevedra apparitions.[3][4]

The First Saturdays devotion was approved by José Alves Correia da Silva, the bishop of Leiria-Fátima, on September 13, 1939 in Fátima.[5]
