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.

The Archdiocesan Creation Justice Ministry will be organising an educational excursion to the Malaysian Timber Industry Board (MTIB) as part of its continuing efforts to promote ecological awareness and environmental responsibility.

This visit aims to help participants better understand sustainability practices, environmental stewardship, and the wider role industries and communities play in caring for creation. Beyond learning about the timber industry, the excursion also invites participants to reflect on the relationship between faith, responsibility, and care for our common home.

Through initiatives such as these, the ministry hopes to encourage greater ecological consciousness and inspire practical action rooted in the spirit of Laudato Si’.

Let us come together in gratitude and stewardship as we care for our common home.

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 Francis’ encyclical Laudato Si’. 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 Archdiocesan Creation Justice Ministry extends its appreciation to the parish Creation Justice Ministry and wishes them every blessing in their stewardship journey.

The Church of Our Lady of Fatima warmly invites parishioners and friends to celebrate the Solemnity of Corpus Christi — the feast dedicated to the Body and Blood of Christ and the Church’s deep devotion to the Holy Eucharist.

This solemnity reminds us of Christ’s true presence in the Eucharist — body, blood, soul, and divinity — and calls us to renew our faith, reverence, and love for the Blessed Sacrament.

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.

• Holy Rosary — 5:30 PM

As we gather for this grace-filled celebration, may our hearts be drawn closer to Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament, the source and summit of our faith.

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.
