Fourth Apparition of Our Lady of Fatima Commemorated at OLF

by olfkl_web_admin August 21, 2026

On 19 August 2026, the Church of Our Lady of Fatima commemorated the Fourth Apparition of Our Lady of Fatima with Holy Hour, Eucharistic Celebration and a procession in honour of the Blessed Virgin Mary.

The Fourth Apparition recalls Our Lady’s appearance to Lucia, Francisco and Jacinta at Valinhos on 19 August 1917. The apparition took place six days later than the customary 13th of the month because the three shepherd children had been detained by the local authorities on 13 August and were unable to go to the Cova da Iria.

During the Holy Hour, prayers were offered for the conversion of those present, their families, society and the world. The faithful also prayed the two prayers taught to the shepherd children by the Angel of Peace.

During the Eucharistic Celebration, Fr. Albert Arokiasamy reflected on the Gospel and the abundance of God’s love and grace. Echoing Our Lady’s message at Fatima, he encouraged the faithful to focus on conversion of the heart.

Following Mass, the congregation joined in procession in honour of the Blessed Virgin Mary.

The Fifth Apparition of Our Lady of Fatima will be commemorated on 13 September 2026, and all are invited to join the parish community for an evening of prayer and devotion.

Day 5 of the Perjalanan Salib: Discovering the Greatest Treasure

by olfkl_web_admin July 26, 2026

The Perjalanan Salib – the Journey of the Cross continued on its fifth day as the parish joined Catholics throughout Malaysia in praying for the Dioceses of Keningau and Sandakan.

Providentially, the day also marked the World Day for Grandparents and the Elderly, celebrated on the Memorial of Saints Joachim and Anne, the grandparents of Jesus. In his homily, Fr. Michael Adawai invited the faithful to reflect on the theme: “The Wisdom of Prayer and the Gift of Generations,” reminding the congregation that the faith we possess today has been handed down through generations of faithful witnesses.

The liturgical readings centred on the question: What is life’s greatest treasure?

In the First Reading (1 Kings 3:5–12), the young King Solomon chose not wealth or power, but the gift of wisdom – a discerning heart capable of leading God’s people according to God’s will.

The Responsorial Psalm echoed this desire, proclaiming that God’s law is more precious than silver or gold.

In the Gospel (Matthew 13:44–52), Jesus compared the Kingdom of Heaven to a hidden treasure and a pearl of great value, teaching that nothing compares to the joy of discovering and following Him.

Drawing these readings together, Fr. Michael reminded the faithful that while the world often measures success through possessions and achievement, the greatest treasure is found in a life rooted in wisdom, prayer and faith. He also encouraged the congregation to cherish parents, grandparents and the elderly, describing them as living witnesses whose sacrifices and steadfast faith continue to strengthen families, the Church and society.

The readings also gave deeper meaning to the Perjalanan Salib itself. The Journey of the Cross calls every Christian to seek the treasure that truly lasts – not material wealth, but Christ Himself. Each stage of the journey invites the faithful to grow in wisdom, embrace God’s will, and hand on the gift of faith to future generations.

As the Perjalanan Salib continues towards the Malaysia Pastoral Convention, may our hearts remain fixed on Christ, the greatest treasure we can ever possess, and may we continue to pray for the Dioceses of Keningau and Sandakan as they journey together in faith, hope and love.

Perjalanan Salib: St Faustina BEC and St Anthony of Padua BEC Unite in Prayer

by olfkl_web_admin July 26, 2026

Members of St Faustina BEC and St Anthony of Padua BEC (Pantai Zone) gathered at the Church of Our Lady of Fatima on 25 July 2026 to participate in the Perjalanan Salib, joining the nationwide spiritual preparation for the Malaysia Pastoral Convention (MPC) 2026.

Centred on the theme, “Celebrate, Listen, Walk – that we may walk together as Christ’s people: listening, discerning and loving,” the gathering provided an opportunity for prayer, reflection and communal discernment.

Participants reflected on the four pastoral thrusts of the Convention—Church, Society, Family and Ecology—and offered prayers for the unity of the Church, the poor and marginalised, migrants, peace in the nation, those burdened by suffering, missionary discipleship, and all who are sick, elderly or affected by ecological challenges.

The community also prayed the Holy Rosary, the Prayer for the Malaysia Pastoral Convention, and invoked the intercession of St Helena of the Cross.

The gathering strengthened the spirit of fellowship within the BEC community and reminded participants that authentic discernment calls the faithful to journey more closely with God, grow in self-awareness, and walk together with one another in faith and love.
