Confirmation Day at the Church of Our Lady of Fatima
On 26 June 2026, the Church of Our Lady of Fatima joyfully celebrated the Sacrament of Confirmation as 23 young parishioners were sealed with the gifts of the Holy Spirit.
The Eucharistic Celebration was a grace-filled occasion, bringing together various parish ministries, catechists, parents, sponsors, and volunteers in support of the confirmands and their families. The celebration marked an important milestone in the faith journey of these young Catholics as they were strengthened by the Holy Spirit and commissioned to live as witnesses of Christ in the world.
During his homily, Archbishop Julian Leow encouraged the confirmands to listen attentively to God’s promptings and to respond generously to His call. Sharing his own vocation story, he spoke about the support and encouragement he eventually received from his father, reminding the young people that God often works through the people closest to us.
Following the celebration, the Archbishop spent time with the newly confirmed over tea, chatting with them about their aspirations, their lives, and even football, creating a warm and memorable encounter for the young parishioners.
Addressing the confirmands, Fr. Andrew Manickam reminded them that God has a purpose and mission for each person and encouraged them to discover and fulfil God’s plan for their lives.
The Church of Our Lady of Fatima congratulates our 23 newly confirmed brothers and sisters and prays that they may continue to grow in faith, guided by the Holy Spirit and strengthened to live as joyful disciples of Christ.
“Come, Holy Spirit, fill the hearts of Your faithful and kindle in them the fire of Your love.”
