The nativities in Fatima Hall were an extra special treat to kick off advent! You can go weekends through New Year's. There were are no crowding issues when we went. Father Roy Herberger opened up Fatima Hall for our group an hour before the rest of the public. We got some exercise too, viewing all the outdoor statues, outdoor holiday lights and climbed the stairs to see the view from the platform on the top of the bascillica dome!
