The Feast of St Tarcisius will be celebrated at OLF on Saturday, 15 August 2026, with a special gathering honouring our Altar Servers and Extraordinary Ministers of Holy Communion (EMHC).

St Tarcisius, who gave his life rather than allow the Blessed Sacrament entrusted to him to be desecrated, remains a powerful witness to love and reverence for the Holy Eucharist.

9.00am – Holy Hour
10.00am – Holy Mass
Followed by brunch

As we give thanks for those who serve at the altar and in the ministry of Holy Communion, the witness of St Tarcisius invites each of us to reflect:

How deeply do we value the Eucharist in our own lives?

St Tarcisius, pray for us.

by olfkl_web_admin July 26, 2026

The Kuala Lumpur Archdiocesan Prayer Ministry concluded its pilgrimage to St. Anne’s Minor Basilica, held from 24 to 26 July 2026, with a spirit of gratitude, prayer and renewed faith.

Throughout the three-day pilgrimage, participants united in prayer for the needs of the Church and the faithful, remembering especially those who are sick and in need of God’s healing grace.

A Thanksgiving Mass was celebrated at the Church of the Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary, Butterworth, where special prayers were offered for those bearing the names Anne and Joachim, in conjunction with the Memorial of Saints Joachim and Anne.

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.

BECs Unite in Prayer at the Perjalanan Salib

by olfkl_web_admin July 26, 2026

Members of several Basic Ecclesial Communities (BECs) from across the parish came together on 25 July 2026 to participate in the Perjalanan Salib, gathering in prayer throughout the day as one family in Christ.

The day commenced at 8.30am with members of St Faustina BEC and St Anthony BEC (Pantai Zone). At 10.00am, members from St Jacinta, St Augustine and St John Paul II (Brickfields Zone), St Thérèse of Lisieux (Puchong Zone), and St Valentine and St Jude (Old Klang Road Zone) continued the devotion. The day’s programme concluded in the evening with St Paul BEC, accompanied by Fr. Michael Adawai.

Throughout the various sessions, participants prayed the Holy Rosary, recited the Prayer to St Helena, sang hymns, and offered prayers for the sick, the suffering, the abandoned, and all who are in need of God’s mercy, healing and comfort.

The communities also united in prayer for the Malaysia Pastoral Convention, which will take place in Sibu this September, asking the Holy Spirit to guide its deliberations and bear abundant fruit for the Church in Malaysia.

The bilingual recitation of the Rosary in English and Tamil served as a visible reminder of the universality of the Catholic Church and the unity shared by the faithful despite differences in language and background.

The gathering reflected the mission of the Basic Ecclesial Communities to nurture faith through prayer, fellowship and mutual support, as parishioners continue their pilgrimage together with Christ.
