St. Teresa’s 69th Annual Sports Carnival | June 27, 2026 ⚽🏆

The Church of Our Lady of Fatima was pleased to support St. Teresa’s School, our neighbour in Brickfields, during its 69th Annual Sports Carnival held on 27 June 2026.

Fr. Andrew Manickam was invited as the Chief Guest and officially inaugurated the carnival, joining the school community in celebrating a day of sportsmanship, teamwork, healthy competition, and fellowship.

The event also reflected the longstanding spirit of friendship and neighbourly support between St. Teresa’s School and the Church of Our Lady of Fatima. The parish is grateful for this relationship and for the many ways both communities continue to support one another.

Fr. Andrew, together with Santhana Rengan from our parish, also assisted in judging the parade, group coordination, and mascots.

We congratulate the Principal, teachers, students, staff, and organisers of St. Teresa’s School on this joyful occasion and wish them continued success in nurturing teamwork, discipline, and school spirit through sports.

Thank You for Celebrating Father’s Day with Us

The Church of Our Lady of Fatima extends its heartfelt gratitude to everyone who joined us in celebrating Father’s Day over the weekend.

We thank all parishioners who participated in the special blessings for fathers, visited the Youth Ministry’s Father’s Day booth, shared messages and prayer intentions for their fathers and father figures, and remembered deceased fathers through prayer and the lighting of candles.

Your presence, prayers, and participation helped make the celebration a beautiful expression of faith, gratitude, and family.

May God continue to bless all fathers with wisdom, strength, and loving hearts as they fulfil their vocation within their families. We also remember with gratitude those fathers who have gone before us, praying that they may rest in the eternal peace of Christ.

Thank you to the OLF Youth Ministry and everyone who contributed their time and effort in making this celebration meaningful for our parish community.

St. Joseph, Guardian of the Holy Family, pray for all fathers.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Special Devotional Prayer in Honour of Our Lady of Fatima – 13 June 2026

The Church of Our Lady of Fatima warmly invites all parishioners and friends to join us for the monthly 13th Day Devotion in Honour of Our Lady of Fatima.

This devotion commemorates the apparitions of Our Lady to the three shepherd children — Lucia, Francisco, and Jacinta — in Fatima, Portugal, in 1917. Through her message, Our Lady called the faithful to prayer, conversion, penance, and devotion to her Immaculate Heart.

The monthly devotion provides an opportunity for us to gather in prayer, entrusting our families, parish, nation, and the world to the maternal care and intercession of Our Blessed Mother. Through the Rosary, Eucharistic celebration, and prayers of reparation, we seek to deepen our relationship with Christ and renew our commitment to living the Gospel faithfully.

Corpus Christi Procession 2026

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.
