  As part of a major gift to Enders Island, a close friend, and supporter, the E. William and France Kenyon Foundation, has donated a magnificent statue of Our Lady of Fatima to us. It will be placed in front of the Seaside Chapel, prayerfully overlooking our beloved grounds. A special dedication is being planned in August. The date and details will be published later in the summer, and we hope that you will join us.
