Armata Bianca is an Ecclesiastical Association, in accordance with canon 215 of the Code of Canon Law (click here). 

On hearing about God the Father's wonderful work through Mother Eugenia and the widespread endorsements in the Catholic Church, Armata Bianca's then leader, Fr. Andrea D'Ascanio, set about disseminating and distributing the book about God the Father of all Mankind across the world. 

The White Army now operates to bring to all the children of the world the invitation that Mary addressed to the three little seers at Fatima: “Are you willing to offer yourselves to God, ready to accept all the sufferings He wishes to send you, as an act of reparation for the sins by which He is offended, and in supplication for the conversion of sinners?”

Since 1972, The White Army's goals are:

1) to invite and prepare children for Consecration to Mary and to God the Father.

2) to teach them to pray the Rosary, and to gather those who commit, into small groups known as Prayer Nests.

Armata Bianca's Foundations

Capuchin Father Andrea D’Ascanio founded Armata Bianca in 1973 guided by his spiritual Fathers:  Padre Pio of Pietrelcina of the Capuchin Friar Minors of St. Francis of Assisi and Venerable Padre Pio Dellepiane, of the Minim Friars of St. Francis of Paola.

The main goal of the organisation is the spiritual care of children by their Consecration to God the Father through Mary; with preparation for First Communion and with the formation of Nests of prayer.

Armata Bianca later focused its support on His Holiness John Paul II's defence of life; initiating a campaign for burial of baby victims of abortion. On the 27th May, 1989, John Paul II held an audience with 10,000 children from Armata Bianca (see here). The Pope said: "The world needs your goodness and innocence to find the way back to Christ and to come out of so many situations of moral poverty."
