The Church of Our Lady of Fatima was filled with parishioners and visitors on Tuesday, 8 September, as the community gathered to celebrate the Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary.

The evening began with Holy Hour Adoration at 6.00pm, followed by the recitation of the Holy Rosary and the celebration of the Eucharist.

Joining Parish Administrator Fr. Andrew Manickam in concelebrating the Mass were visiting priests Fr. Michael Adawai and Fr. Simon Agbo. Among those present were visitors from Singapore, Rawang, Petaling Jaya and surrounding areas, as well as members of the Legion of Mary from the Church of the Assumption, Petaling Jaya, who served as gift bearers during the Offertory.

In his homily, Fr. Andrew reflected on Mary’s acceptance of God’s call and her willingness to become the handmaid of the Lord. Recalling the words of the angel to Joseph, he spoke of the trust and faith that accompanied Mary’s place in God’s plan of salvation.

Fr. Andrew also reminded the congregation that Christ remains with us in our failures and weaknesses. Jesus is not only with the successful or powerful, but is the Good Shepherd who remains close to us, especially in times of sorrow and difficulty.

At the conclusion of Mass, Fr. Andrew thanked everyone who had travelled from near and far to join the celebration. He then invited members of the Legion of Mary from the different praesidia and parishes to come forward for the cutting of a birthday cake in honour of Our Lady.

The celebration continued after Mass with fellowship and refreshments at Dewan Fatima and around the church grounds, bringing together parishioners and visitors in a shared evening of faith and community.

May the example of our Blessed Mother continue to lead us closer to her Son and inspire us to respond faithfully to God’s call in our own lives.

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.

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:

The Church of Our Lady of Fatima will hold a special Holy Hour on Friday, 31 July 2026, offering prayers for all those who have lost their lives through tragedies, accidents, natural disasters and other calamities, as well as those whose lives have ended through suicide.

During this time before the Blessed Sacrament, those gathered will entrust the departed to the infinite love and mercy of God, praying that He may receive them into His eternal peace.

The Holy Hour will also remember their families, friends and loved ones, particularly those who continue to carry the sorrow of sudden or unexpected loss. May they find consolation, strength and hope in the presence of Christ.

Parishioners and friends are warmly invited to join this special time of prayer and remembrance.

As part of the parish’s invitation for every Basic Ecclesial Community (BEC) to spend time in prayer before the Perjalanan Salib – the Journey of the Cross, four members of BEC St. Francesco (BB2) gathered on Friday, 24 July, for an evening of prayer and reflection.

During their visit, they prayed for the Malaysia Pastoral Convention 2026 (MPC), remembered the intentions of their BEC, and prayed a decade of the Rosary. They also wrote their personal petitions and placed them in the petition box before spending time venerating the Cross in quiet prayer.

The evening concluded with the parish Holy Hour, where they joined the community in prayer before the Blessed Sacrament.

Afterwards, they shared that the quiet time spent in the presence of the Cross and the Blessed Sacrament had been uplifting and deeply meaningful.

The parish continues to encourage its Basic Ecclesial Communities to take part in the Perjalanan Salib, offering time for personal prayer, reflection and intercession as together we journey towards the Malaysia Pastoral Convention 2026.
