Thornton packed as thousands pay homage to Fatima

Posted: Monday, October 17, 2011 12:00 am | Updated: 6:47 am, Mon Oct 17, 2011.

As is the norm for a week in October, Thornton is transformed from a small, quiet, isolated community off Interstate 5 into Grand Central Station — Portuguese style.

North Sacramento Boulevard, the street that houses two of Thornton's most prominent locations — New Hope School and Mater Ecclesiae Catholic Church — was transformed into a walkway during the weekend with vendors selling souvenirs and other items.
