“Start by doing what’s necessary; then do what’s possible; and suddenly you are doing the impossible.”
— St. Francis of Assisi

May this pilgrimage be an opportunity to grow closer to Christ through the example and intercession of St. Francis of Assisi.

n response to the Holy Father’s call for prayer, the Church of Our Lady of Fatima invites all parishioners to unite in prayer for unity, reconciliation and healing within the Church.

At this sorrowful moment, we join Catholics around the world in praying that “the seamless garment of Christ, wounded by division, may once again be visibly restored.”

During this special time of prayer, we entrust the Church to the Lord, asking Him to pour out His Spirit of peace, heal every wound of division, and strengthen us in charity, communion and mutual understanding.

“That they may all be one.” (John 17:21)

The Church of Our Lady of Fatima invites all parishioners and friends to join in prayer for the victims of the recent earthquake in Venezuela.

In moments of tragedy and suffering, the Church is called to stand in solidarity with our brothers and sisters throughout the world through prayer, compassion, and hope. As one family of faith, we entrust all those affected by this disaster—those who have lost loved ones, homes, and livelihoods—to the loving care and mercy of God.

Parishioners are encouraged to light a candle in their homes on 30 June and 1 July as a visible sign of prayer and remembrance.

The Archdiocesan Prayer Ministry will also lead a Candlelight Rosary at the Church of Our Lady of Fatima at 7.30pm on both evenings, praying for the victims, their families, rescue workers, and all who continue to suffer the effects of this tragedy.

May Our Lady of Fatima, Queen of Peace and Comfort of the Afflicted, intercede for the people of Venezuela and bring them strength, consolation, and hope.

“Rejoice with those who rejoice; mourn with those who mourn.” (Romans 12:15)

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.

On the Solemnity of the Most Holy Body and Blood of Christ, parishioners and visitors gathered for the annual Corpus Christi Celebration and Eucharistic Procession, publicly witnessing their faith in the Real Presence of Jesus Christ in the Holy Eucharist.

Following the celebration of Holy Mass, the faithful accompanied the Blessed Sacrament in procession through the streets of Brickfields. This cherished tradition is both an act of worship and a public proclamation of the Church’s belief that Christ is truly present — Body, Blood, Soul, and Divinity — in the Eucharist.

Carried reverently by Fr. Andrew Manickam in the Monstrance, the Blessed Sacrament was sheltered beneath a baldachin borne by members of the Extraordinary Ministers of Holy Communion (EMHC). The baldachin serves as a sign of honour and reverence, reflecting the dignity due to Christ present in the Eucharist.

Throughout the procession, hymns of praise filled the streets as altar servers, ministers, flower girls, and members of the congregation accompanied Our Lord in prayer. The ringing of bells, the fragrance of incense, the scattering of rose petals, and the glow of candlelight created a prayerful atmosphere of devotion and thanksgiving.

At various points along the route, blessings were imparted upon the surrounding neighbourhood and community, reminding all present that Christ walks among His people and continues to bless the world through His Eucharistic presence.

As the faithful sang together:

“O Sacrament Most Holy,
O Sacrament Divine,
All praise and all thanksgiving,
Be every moment Thine.”

may the celebration of Corpus Christi continue to deepen our love for the Eucharist and strengthen our commitment to live as faithful disciples of Christ.

Ahead of the Solemnity of the Most Holy Body and Blood of Christ (Corpus Christi), Pope Leo XIV has encouraged Catholics throughout the world to preserve and participate in the cherished tradition of Corpus Christi processions.

Speaking during his General Audience, the Holy Father reflected on the importance of these public expressions of faith, describing them as a beautiful witness to belief in the Real Presence of Christ in the Eucharist. He noted that Eucharistic processions continue to be a powerful manifestation of devotion in many towns, cities, and countries across the world.

“In the Eucharist we contemplate Jesus, bread broken and given for each one of us,” the Pope reminded the faithful.

The Solemnity of Corpus Christi invites Catholics to deepen their love for the Blessed Sacrament and to publicly profess their faith in Christ’s presence in the Eucharist. Through prayer, adoration, and Eucharistic processions, the faithful bear witness to the central mystery of our faith and bring Christ into the heart of our communities.

Pope Leo XIV also took the opportunity to assure priests and religious serving in the Middle East of his prayers and support, and encouraged religious communities throughout the world to remain signs of hope for those seeking God, truth, and peace.

As our parish prepares to celebrate Corpus Christi, may we heed the Holy Father’s invitation by participating wholeheartedly in the liturgical celebrations and Eucharistic Procession, giving public witness to our faith in the Lord who remains with us in the Blessed Sacrament.

The Archdiocesan Prayer Ministry invites the faithful to participate in the World Day of Prayer for the Sanctification of Priests, celebrated annually on the Solemnity of the Sacred Heart of Jesus.

This special observance is an opportunity for the Church to pray for priests, giving thanks for their vocation and asking God to strengthen them in holiness, fidelity, and service. The faithful are encouraged to unite in prayer for all priests, that they may continue to shepherd God’s people with wisdom, compassion, and dedication.

As part of the celebration, participants will journey to the Church of the Sacred Heart of Jesus, Bentong, for Mass and prayer together with fellow Catholics from across the Archdiocese.
