Celebrating the Gift of Fathers at OLF

Father’s Day was celebrated across the parish with gratitude, prayer, and fellowship as parishioners gathered to honour fathers and father figures whose love, sacrifice, and guidance continue to shape our families and communities.

At all weekend Masses, a special blessing was offered for fathers, entrusting them to the care and intercession of St. Joseph, guardian of the Redeemer and protector of the Holy Family. The parish also came together in fellowship after Masses, sharing moments of conversation and community at Dewan Fatima.

The OLF Youth Ministry coordinated a special Father’s Day booth where parishioners were invited to write messages, wishes, and prayer intentions for their fathers and father figures. These heartfelt offerings were later presented during the Offertory at the 10.30am Mass as a sign of thanksgiving and prayer.

A particularly moving aspect of the celebration was the remembrance of deceased fathers and grandfathers. Parishioners lit candles in their memory, giving thanks for their lives and praying that they may rest in the peace and love of Christ.

As we celebrate Father’s Day, we thank God for all fathers, grandfathers, guardians, mentors, and father figures who reflect God’s love through their care, sacrifice, and faithful presence in our lives.

St. Joseph, pray for us.

Prayer of Reparation for the Blessed Sacrament

The faithful are invited to join the Church in prayer and reparation following the reported theft of the Blessed Sacrament from a hospital in Rome, and in atonement for all acts of sacrilege committed against the Most Holy Eucharist.

For Catholics, the Eucharist is not merely a symbol but the Real Presence of Jesus Christ — Body, Blood, Soul, and Divinity. Any act of disrespect or profanation directed towards the Blessed Sacrament is therefore a cause of profound sorrow for the Church.

In response, the Archdiocese of Rome has called the faithful to prayer and reparation, entrusting the matter to God’s mercy and seeking a renewed love, reverence, and devotion towards the Holy Eucharist.

The Church of Our Lady of Fatima joins this prayerful intention and invites parishioners to spend time before the Blessed Sacrament, offering prayers of reparation and asking the Lord to strengthen our faith in His Eucharistic Presence.

May our prayers become a source of grace, healing, conversion, and renewed reverence for the Most Blessed Sacrament.

Remembering Our Deceased Fathers and Grandfathers

As part of our Father’s Day observance, parishioners gathered to remember and pray for their deceased fathers and grandfathers with gratitude, love, and faith.

Throughout the day, candles were lit in their memory and prayer intentions were placed in the petition box, entrusting them to the loving mercy of God and seeking the intercession of St. Joseph, foster father of Jesus and patron of fathers.

Father’s Day provides a special opportunity to give thanks for the men who have shaped our lives through their love, sacrifice, guidance, and example. Though they may no longer be with us, their influence continues to live on in our families, our faith, and the values they passed on to future generations.

As a parish community, we remember all deceased fathers and grandfathers in prayer, asking the Lord to grant them eternal rest and everlasting peace.

Eternal rest grant unto them, O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon them. May they rest in peace. Amen.

St. Joseph, pray for all deceased fathers and grandfathers.

Prayer to St. Joseph for Fathers and Families

As the Church honours St. Joseph, guardian of Jesus and chaste spouse of the Blessed Virgin Mary, we are reminded of his quiet strength, faithful service, and unwavering trust in God.

St. Joseph remains a powerful model for all fathers, husbands, workers, and families. Through his loving care for the Holy Family, he teaches us the virtues of humility, perseverance, responsibility, and self-giving love.

The Church invites all the faithful, especially fathers and father figures, to turn to St. Joseph in prayer, entrusting to him their hopes, struggles, responsibilities, and family life. May his example inspire us to remain faithful to our vocation and to place our complete trust in God’s providence.

Let us continue to seek the intercession of St. Joseph for all fathers, families, and those entrusted to our care.

Father’s Day Appreciation Messages

In conjunction with Father’s Day this weekend (20 & 21 June 2026), the OLF Youth Ministry warmly invites parishioners to visit their special booth this weekend and take part in a meaningful initiative to honour fathers and father figures.

Parishioners will have the opportunity to write messages of appreciation, wishes, or prayer intentions for their fathers, grandfathers, guardians, mentors, and all those who have played a fatherly role in their lives.

The booth will be available during the Sunset Mass and before the 10.30am Mass. All messages received will be prayerfully presented during the Offertory at the 10.30am Mass as a sign of gratitude and remembrance.

As we celebrate Father’s Day, let us take a moment to thank God for the fathers and father figures who have guided, supported, and loved us throughout our lives.

The OLF Youth Ministry looks forward to welcoming you to the booth and helping our parish celebrate this special occasion together.

New Pews for the Church of Our Lady of Fatima

We pleased to announce the arrival of the first batch of new pews as part of an ongoing replacement project for the parish church.

The decision to replace the existing pews was made following concerns regarding their age, condition, and safety. Over time, many of the pews had become unstable, with some developing loose fittings that posed a risk to parishioners. The new pews will provide a safer and more comfortable environment for worship, while preserving the dignity and reverence of our sacred space.

The first six pews have now been installed, with additional units expected to arrive progressively over the coming weeks. The full installation is anticipated to be completed by the middle of August.

In keeping with the parish’s commitment to responsible stewardship, the timber from the old pews will not be discarded. Instead, portions of the wood will be repurposed into small devotional crosses as keepsakes, ensuring that these long-serving pews continue to hold a place in the life of the parish.

As we receive this gift, parishioners are kindly reminded to help care for the new pews by using them respectfully, particularly the kneelers, and by encouraging children to refrain from marking or damaging them.

The parish extends its gratitude to all who have contributed towards this important improvement. May these new pews continue to serve generations of worshippers who gather to pray, celebrate the Eucharist, and encounter Christ in our parish community

Outreach Mission to Kerling and Kuala Selangor

In the spirit of the Gospel and the Church’s call to serve those in need, parishioners from the Church of Our Lady of Fatima participated in an outreach mission to Kerling and Kuala Selangor on 16 June 2026.

Working together with OLF’s Inter-Human Development (IHD), the Society of St. Vincent de Paul (SVP), and the Creation Justice Ministry (CJM), volunteers visited families facing financial and social challenges, distributing provisions and offering encouragement, solidarity, and hope.

This outreach reflects the vision expressed by the Second Vatican Council in Gaudium et Spes, which reminds us that the joys, hopes, griefs, and anxieties of those who are poor and afflicted are also the concerns of Christ’s followers. Through simple acts of generosity and service, the parish seeks to respond to this call by accompanying those who are most vulnerable within our communities.

The parish extends its heartfelt gratitude to all benefactors, volunteers, and supporters whose generosity made this mission possible. Their contributions continue to bring relief, dignity, and hope to families in need.

May God bless all who serve, give, and support these efforts as we continue to be Christ’s hands and feet in the world.

Feast of St. Thomas Pilgrimage – Kuantan 2026

The Archdiocesan Prayer Ministry invites parishioners and friends to join a pilgrimage to the Church of St. Thomas, Kuantan, in celebration of the Feast of St. Thomas and the parish’s 120th anniversary.

Often remembered as “Doubting Thomas,” St. Thomas is more accurately remembered as a disciple whose sincere search for truth led him to one of the most profound professions of faith in the Gospel: “My Lord and my God!” Through his encounter with the Risen Christ, St. Thomas reminds us that authentic faith is not the absence of questions, but the willingness to seek Christ with an open heart.

This pilgrimage offers an opportunity for prayer, fellowship, and spiritual renewal as pilgrims gather to celebrate the life and witness of St. Thomas together with the faithful of Kuantan.

In this Jubilee Year of St. Francis of Assisi, may the example of St. Thomas encourage us to deepen our trust in the Lord and strengthen our commitment to living the Gospel each day.

Those interested in joining are invited to contact Marilyn at 017-328-6199 for further information and registration details.

⚽ Fr. Andrew… or should we say, Andrezinho?

After Fr. Andrew’s friendly reminder to football fans (and his not-so-subtle support for Brazil 😄 & France to a lesser extent), we thought we’d take a quick look back at the captains who led Brazil to its five FIFA World Cup triumphs:

🏆 1958 🏆 1962 🏆 1970 🏆 1994 🏆 2002

Will Brazil lift the trophy again? Only time will tell ….. but you may have some insights by watching this video clip right to the end.

Until then, enjoy the football, support your favourite team, and don’t forget Sunday’s most important fixture — Holy Mass. 🙏⚽
