Global Rosary for Peace with Pope Leo XIV ๐Ÿ™

The Church of Our Lady of Fatima will join Catholics across the world in responding to Pope Leo XIV’s invitation to pray for peace through the Rosary.

This gathering offers the faithful an opportunity to unite spiritually with the universal Church in praying for an end to conflict, healing for those affected by war and violence, and a renewed commitment to peace among nations and peoples.

In a world often marked by division and uncertainty, prayer remains a powerful witness of faith, hope, and solidarity. Through the intercession of the Blessed Virgin Mary, we entrust the needs of the world to God, asking for the gift of peace in our families, communities, and nations.

All are encouraged to participate in this special evening of prayer and Eucharistic devotion.

Ecological Spirituality and Ecological Leadership Formation ๐ŸŒฟ

On Saturday, 24 May 2026, 71 participants from the Negeri Sembilan district gathered at the Church of the Visitation for a formation session on Ecological Spirituality and Ecological Leadership.

The session focused on the theme of Ecological Conversion and the importance of caring for creation, inspired by Pope Francisโ€™ encyclical Laudato Siโ€™. Participants reflected on practical and meaningful ways individuals and parish communities can take responsibility in protecting and nurturing the environment.

The gathering also provided an opportunity for participants to exchange ideas, share parish initiatives, and explore ways of collaboration in promoting ecological awareness and stewardship.

As a symbolic gesture of commitment to care for creation, Fr. Andrew Manickam and Fr. Xavier Andrew planted a tree at the conclusion of the session, reminding all that even small acts can contribute meaningfully towards caring for our common home.

The day was filled with learning, fellowship, sharing, and joyful interaction among participants.

The celebration will include Holy Adoration, Holy Mass, and a Candlelight Eucharistic Procession through the streets, offering the faithful an opportunity to publicly witness their faith and devotion to Christ present in the Eucharist.

Pentecost Sunday | The Birthday of the Church

Pentecost Sunday was celebrated joyfully at the Church of Our Lady of Fatima as the parish welcomed a meaningful milestone in the faith journey of the newly baptized Catholics of the parish.

During the 10:30 AM Mass, the Neophytes were commissioned by Fr. Andrew Manickam, formally marking the conclusion of their RCIA (Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults) journey and their sending forth as active members of the Church.

In a special moment during the rite, the congregation was also invited to renew its commitment to accompany and encourage the newly baptized in living out their faith and mission within the parish community.

The commissioning reminds us that Pentecost is not only the celebration of the birth of the Church, but also a call for every Christian to become witnesses of the Gospel through prayer, service, charity, and daily living.

May the Holy Spirit continue to guide and strengthen our Neophytes as they grow in faith and serve as missionary disciples in the Church and the world.
