Global Rosary for Peace

Responding to the Holy Father’s call to pray for peace, parishioners and friends gathered at the Church of Our Lady of Fatima for the Global Rosary for Peace, joining Catholics around the world in entrusting the needs of humanity to the loving intercession of the Blessed Virgin Mary.

The evening began with the ringing of the church bells, a solemn invitation to the faithful to unite in prayer for a world increasingly marked by conflict, division, and uncertainty. Through the praying of the Holy Rosary, participants offered their intentions for peace among nations, within communities, and in the hearts of all people.

Each Joyful Mystery was accompanied by a special prayer intention, inviting reflection on the many challenges facing our world today. During the prayer service, participants lit candles as a visible sign of hope, faith, and trust in God’s promise of peace.

As a parish community, we continue to seek Our Blessed Mother’s intercession, praying that hearts may be transformed, reconciliation may prevail, and Christ’s peace may reign in our world.

Spiritual Recollection for Extraordinary Ministers of Holy Communion

As the Church prepares to celebrate the Solemnity of Corpus Christi, the Extraordinary Ministers of Holy Communion (EMHC) of our parish gathered for a Spiritual Recollection centred on prayer, reflection, and Eucharistic devotion.

The recollection began with a period of Eucharistic Adoration, providing the ministers an opportunity to spend time in the presence of the Lord and deepen their appreciation for the sacred ministry entrusted to them. The burning of incense during the devotion served as a reminder of prayers rising to God.

Fr. Andrew Manickam led the ministers and parishioners in praying the Rosary with Eucharistic Meditation, followed by the Litany of the Most Blessed Sacrament. Together, the faithful reflected on the gift of the Eucharist and the call to discipleship.

In his homily, based on Mark 12:1–12, Fr. Andrew reminded those present that every disciple has been entrusted with a mission from God. Remaining focused on Christ enables us to persevere through life’s challenges, struggles, and uncertainties while remaining faithful to that mission.

Following the recollection, the ministers gathered in Dewan Fatima for fellowship, a brief meeting, and preparations for the upcoming Eucharistic Procession.

Let us continue to pray for our Extraordinary Ministers of Holy Communion as they faithfully serve the parish community and bring the Body of Christ to the sick, elderly, and homebound.
