Father Richard Kunst, Curator & Commentator
Recently, Father Richard Kunst was contacted by Real Presence Radio to do an interview about Fatima and the events surrounding the appearances of Our Lady in 1917 and the 100th anniversary this year with the canonizations of two of the seers, Jacinta and Francesco Marto happening on the anniversary of her first appearance, May 13th.
Since Father has been to Fatima a number of times, and has a great devotion to Mary, he is well qualified to speak to us on this topic.
The segment of the hour with Father Kunst begins at the 4 minute mark. Here is a link to the interview:
