All are warmly invited to join this meaningful day of prayer and reflection as we renew our commitment to caring for God’s creation and living out our vocation as faithful stewards of our common home.

The Church of Our Lady of Fatima warmly invites all grandparents, senior citizens, their families and parishioners to celebrate the 6th World Day for Grandparents and the Elderly on Monday, 27 July 2026.

This year’s theme, “I will never forget you” (Isaiah 49:15), reminds us of God’s unfailing love and faithfulness. Even in old age, the Lord knows each of us by name, never abandons His children, and continues to surround them with His care and mercy.

This special celebration is an opportunity to honour the invaluable presence of our grandparents and elderly, whose lives, wisdom, faith and sacrifices have enriched our families and parish community. Through prayer, the Eucharist, special blessings and fellowship, we come together to thank God for them and assure them that they remain cherished members of our Church.

The celebration will conclude with a potluck lunch, and parishioners are warmly invited to bring a signature dish to share as we celebrate together as one parish family.

We look forward to welcoming everyone for this joyful day of prayer, gratitude and fellowship.

On 21 July 2026, the parish community of the Church of Our Lady of Fatima joyfully congratulates Rev. Fr. Simon Agbo as he celebrates the 8th Anniversary of his Priestly Ordination.

Fr. Simon concelebrated the Thanksgiving Mass with Rev. Fr. Andrew Manickam this morning, giving thanks to God for the gift of his priestly vocation and eight years of faithful ministry in the service of Christ and His Church.

As we celebrate this special milestone, let us keep Fr. Simon in our prayers, asking the Lord to continue blessing him with good health, wisdom, strength and abundant grace. May the Holy Spirit renew his zeal each day as he faithfully proclaims the Gospel, celebrates the Sacraments and shepherds God’s people with joy and compassion.

“The harvest is plentiful, but the labourers are few; therefore ask the Lord of the harvest to send out labourers into his harvest.”
— Luke 10:2

Happy 8th Sacerdotal Anniversary, Fr. Simon! May God continue to bless your priestly ministry for many years to come.

On 20 July 2026, the Church of Our Lady of Fatima had the privilege of welcoming a delegation of 20 senior police and law enforcement officials from 13 countries, as part of a programme organised through the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

Following six days of conferences and knowledge-sharing sessions, the delegation spent their final day in Malaysia visiting several places of worship to better understand how different faith communities peacefully coexist within the country’s diverse society.

Rev. Fr. Andrew Manickam warmly welcomed the visitors and introduced them to the life of the parish and the Archdiocese of Kuala Lumpur under the pastoral leadership of Archbishop Julian Leow. He shared how the Church of Our Lady of Fatima strives to be a welcoming community where the values of compassion, forgiveness and peace are nurtured and lived out. He also spoke about the parish’s devotion to Our Blessed Mother, whose loving intercession continues to inspire and strengthen the faithful.

Reflecting on the unique character of Brickfields, Fr. Andrew highlighted the harmonious relationship shared among the various places of worship along Jalan Tun Sambanthan. He also expressed appreciation for the close cooperation and support provided by the officers of IPD Brickfields, whose assistance helps ensure the safety and smooth running of major religious celebrations.

Members of the delegation expressed their appreciation for the warm welcome they received and valued the opportunity to visit a Catholic church and experience Malaysia’s spirit of mutual respect and hospitality. Fr. Andrew, in turn, thanked the delegates for their dedicated service to their respective nations and for their shared commitment to promoting peace and security.

The visit concluded with fellowship and friendly conversations over refreshments in Dewan Fatima, fostering new friendships and a deeper appreciation of dialogue, understanding and peaceful coexistence.

Let us come together in prayer for all our priests, thanking God for their faithful service and asking Him to continue blessing their ministry.

From 22 to 28 July 2026, the Church of Our Lady of Fatima will host the Perjalanan Salib (Journey of the Cross) as part of the nationwide pilgrimage leading to the Malaysia Pastoral Convention (MPC) 2026.

This 17-month pilgrimage, which began in April 2025, unites the nine dioceses and archdioceses of Malaysia in a common journey of prayer, reflection and communion. It forms part of the Church’s continuing commitment to strengthen unity and synodality under the theme “Celebrate, Listen, Walk as One Church.”

Throughout the week, our parish community will gather each day to pray for one of the dioceses or archdioceses of Malaysia while reflecting on the four pastoral priorities of the Convention:

• Family
• Church
• Society
• Ecology

In addition, we will lift up in prayer our families, parishioners, brothers and sisters who are ill, our senior citizens and the elderly, our Basic Ecclesial Communities (BECs), those affected by ecological issues, and all who are poor and marginalised.

As we journey together towards the Malaysia Pastoral Convention 2026, may we become a Church that listens more attentively, walks more closely with one another, and bears joyful witness to Christ in our homes, our communities and our nation.

We warmly encourage all parishioners to participate throughout the week. Please refer to the accompanying posters for the daily programme and schedule.

On 17 July 2026, the parish community of the Church of Our Lady of Fatima gives thanks to God as Rev. Fr. Andrew Manickam celebrates the 29th Anniversary of his Priestly Ordination.

For twenty-nine years, Fr. Andrew has faithfully answered God’s call to serve His Church through the celebration of the Holy Eucharist, the proclamation of the Gospel, the administration of the Sacraments, and the loving care of God’s people. His priestly ministry has been a source of spiritual guidance, hope and encouragement to countless individuals and families.

As we mark this special milestone, we invite all parishioners to join in praying for Fr. Andrew—that the Lord will continue to bless him with good health, wisdom, strength and renewed zeal as he carries out the mission entrusted to him.

May the Holy Spirit continue to guide him, the Blessed Virgin Mary, Mother of Priests, watch over him, and may St. John Vianney intercede for him as he continues to shepherd God’s people with joy and fidelity.

“I thank my God every time I remember you. In all my prayers for all of you, I always pray with joy because of your partnership in the gospel from the first day until now.”
— Philippians 1:3–5

Happy 29th Sacerdotal Anniversary, Fr. Andrew. Ad multos annos!

On 16 July, the Church celebrates the Feast of Our Lady of Mount Carmel, one of the oldest Marian devotions in the Catholic tradition.

The title “Our Lady of Mount Carmel” traces its origins to Mount Carmel in the Holy Land, where Christian hermits dedicated their lives to prayer under the patronage of the Blessed Virgin Mary. Over the centuries, this devotion has become closely associated with the Carmelite Order and the Brown Scapular, a sign of Mary’s loving protection and our commitment to follow Christ faithfully.

The feast reminds us that Mary is our spiritual mother, always leading us to her Son and encouraging us to live lives of faith, prayer and charity. Through her maternal intercession, we are invited to place our trust in God and to persevere in hope, especially during life’s trials.

As a parish dedicated to Our Lady of Fatima, we joyfully join the universal Church in honouring Our Lady under this cherished title, asking her to accompany us on our journey of faith.

“O Mary, conceived without sin, pray for us who have recourse to thee.”

Our Lady of Mount Carmel, pray for us.
