Thornton By Jennifer Bonnett/News-Sentinel Staff Writer Lodinews.com | 0 comments

If you’re looking for a location steeped in history that still clings to rich traditions, Thornton is a perfect place. It sits alongside Interstate 5 on the northernmost corner of San Joaquin County.

Each October, thousands come to the town to pay homage to Fatima, a title given to the Virgin Mary as she appeared in apparitions reported by three shepherd children at Fatima in Portugal.
