SisterAngela de Fatima Coelho, postulator for the cause of canonization of Fatima children Jacinta and Francisco Marto, was interviewed by Teresa Tomeo on Facebook Live on May 13, the Feast Day of Our Lady of Fatima, and the 104
th anniversary that Mary began appearing to the three children of Fatima. Sr. Angela is a medical doctor and the first woman to be named to the office of postulator.
The role of postulator
Sr. Angela began by noting that she was first asked to assume the role as vice postulator (later postulator) for Jacinta and Francisco in 2009. It was a role she was excited to take on, especially since she recalled that when she was a girl in the 1970s, she’d go to their gravesites to pray. In 2017, she joined Pope Francis for the canonization of Ss. Jacinta and Francisco.
