World Day of Prayer for the Sanctification of Priests | OLF

Each year, on the Solemnity of the Sacred Heart of Jesus, the Church observes the World Day of Prayer for the Sanctification of Priests, inviting the faithful to pray in a special way for those called to serve God’s people through the priesthood.

Priests carry the responsibility of proclaiming the Gospel, celebrating the Sacraments, shepherding communities, and accompanying the faithful through the joys and challenges of life. This special day reminds us that they, too, rely on the prayers and support of the faithful as they strive to live their vocation with holiness, fidelity, and generosity.

The Archdiocesan Prayer Ministry invites all parishioners to join in prayer for the clergy of the Archdiocese of Kuala Lumpur. Let us pray that our priests may be strengthened in their ministry, renewed in their love for Christ, and guided by the Sacred Heart of Jesus in all that they do.

Serving Our Neighbours on Wesak Day 🀝

In a spirit of service and neighbourly goodwill, volunteers from the Church of Our Lady of Fatima distributed 250 packets of vegetarian meals to pilgrims and visitors attending the Wesak Day celebrations at the Buddhist Maha Vihara, Brickfields.

Located in the heart of a vibrant and diverse community, our parish is blessed with opportunities to encounter people from different backgrounds, cultures, and faith traditions. Through simple acts of generosity and service, we seek to contribute towards greater understanding, harmony, and mutual respect among all people.

This outreach reflects the Church’s mission to serve others with compassion and to be a visible presence of Christ’s love within the wider community. Beyond the distribution of meals, it was an opportunity to foster friendship, build connections, and witness to the values of charity and solidarity.

We thank all volunteers who contributed their time and effort to make this initiative possible, and we pray that such gestures of goodwill may continue to strengthen the bonds that unite us as one human family.

Spiritual Recollection for Extraordinary Ministers of Holy Communion

As the Church prepares to celebrate the Solemnity of Corpus Christi, the Extraordinary Ministers of Holy Communion (EMHC) of our parish gathered for a Spiritual Recollection centred on prayer, reflection, and Eucharistic devotion.

The recollection began with a period of Eucharistic Adoration, providing the ministers an opportunity to spend time in the presence of the Lord and deepen their appreciation for the sacred ministry entrusted to them. The burning of incense during the devotion served as a reminder of prayers rising to God.

Fr. Andrew Manickam led the ministers and parishioners in praying the Rosary with Eucharistic Meditation, followed by the Litany of the Most Blessed Sacrament. Together, the faithful reflected on the gift of the Eucharist and the call to discipleship.

In his homily, based on Mark 12:1–12, Fr. Andrew reminded those present that every disciple has been entrusted with a mission from God. Remaining focused on Christ enables us to persevere through life’s challenges, struggles, and uncertainties while remaining faithful to that mission.

Following the recollection, the ministers gathered in Dewan Fatima for fellowship, a brief meeting, and preparations for the upcoming Eucharistic Procession.

Let us continue to pray for our Extraordinary Ministers of Holy Communion as they faithfully serve the parish community and bring the Body of Christ to the sick, elderly, and homebound.

Ecological Educational Excursion 🌿

Beyond learning about the timber industry, the excursion also invites participants to reflect on the relationship between faith, responsibility, and care for our common home.

Ecological Spirituality and Ecological Leadership Formation 🌿

On Saturday, 24 May 2026, 71 participants from the Negeri Sembilan district gathered at the Church of the Visitation for a formation session on Ecological Spirituality and Ecological Leadership.

The session focused on the theme of Ecological Conversion and the importance of caring for creation, inspired by Pope Francis’ encyclical Laudato Si’. Participants reflected on practical and meaningful ways individuals and parish communities can take responsibility in protecting and nurturing the environment.

The gathering also provided an opportunity for participants to exchange ideas, share parish initiatives, and explore ways of collaboration in promoting ecological awareness and stewardship.

As a symbolic gesture of commitment to care for creation, Fr. Andrew Manickam and Fr. Xavier Andrew planted a tree at the conclusion of the session, reminding all that even small acts can contribute meaningfully towards caring for our common home.

The day was filled with learning, fellowship, sharing, and joyful interaction among participants.

The Archdiocesan Creation Justice Ministry extends its appreciation to the parish Creation Justice Ministry and wishes them every blessing in their stewardship journey.

Pentecost Sunday | The Birthday of the Church

Pentecost Sunday was celebrated joyfully at the Church of Our Lady of Fatima as the parish welcomed a meaningful milestone in the faith journey of the newly baptized Catholics of the parish.

During the 10:30 AM Mass, the Neophytes were commissioned by Fr. Andrew Manickam, formally marking the conclusion of their RCIA (Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults) journey and their sending forth as active members of the Church.

In a special moment during the rite, the congregation was also invited to renew its commitment to accompany and encourage the newly baptized in living out their faith and mission within the parish community.

The commissioning reminds us that Pentecost is not only the celebration of the birth of the Church, but also a call for every Christian to become witnesses of the Gospel through prayer, service, charity, and daily living.

May the Holy Spirit continue to guide and strengthen our Neophytes as they grow in faith and serve as missionary disciples in the Church and the world.
