The designated Papal legate, Cardinal Benedetto Aloisi Masella executed the coronation on 13 May 1946, now permanently enshrined at the Chapel of the Apparitions of Fátima. The same Pontiff raised the Sanctuary of Fátima to the status of a minor basilica by his Apostolic letter Luce Superna on 11 November 1954.
