Francisco Marto, along with with his sister Jacinta, and cousin Lucia, witnessed the apparitions of the Virgin Mary, now commonly known as Our Lady of Fatima. During the first apparition, which took place on 13 May 1917, Our Lady asked the three children to continually say the Rosary and make sacrifices offered for the conversion of sinners. The children obediently prayed often, and consistently gave their lunch to beggars; going without food themselves.They also offered up their daily crosses and even refrained from drinking water on hot days.

Francisco's remains were deposited in the Basilica of Our Lady of Fatima on 13 March 1952 (he was the first of the three shepherd to die). In October 1918, Francisco and Jacinta became seriously ill with the 1918 flu epidemic that resulted in the death of over 60 million worldwide. Our Lady appeared to them and said she would to take them to heaven soon. Bed-ridden, Francisco requested his first Communion, and on the following day (14 April 1919), died.
