Parishioners who would like to volunteer are warmly invited to be part of this outreach.

Volunteer enquiries:

• Victor – 012-392 0001

The parish is grateful to the National Cancer Society Malaysia for its collaboration and looks forward to bringing hope, care and Christ’s love to the wider community through this initiative.

The Perjalanan Salib – Journey of the Cross has been a time of prayer, reflection and grace for many members of our parish community. Along the way, some may have experienced moments of encouragement, renewal or unexpected encounters that have deepened their faith.

Fr. Andrew Manickam invites parishioners and friends to share these experiences so that they may become a source of hope and encouragement for others.

Whether it is a personal reflection, a memorable encounter, or a simple story of how God has been at work during the Perjalanan Salib, your testimony can inspire fellow parishioners and remind us that Christ continues to walk with His people.

Stories may be submitted through:

📱 Parish WhatsApp – 016-241 2252

📧 Church Email – fatimachurch@archkl.org

Selected submissions may be featured on the parish’s communication platforms to encourage and strengthen our community of faith.

Thank you for your participation in the Perjalanan Salib. May the Lord continue to bless you as we journey together as missionary disciples.

Ad multos annos!

The Church of Our Lady of Fatima warmly invites all parishioners to the final day of the Perjalanan Salib – the Journey of the Cross during its seven-day stay at OLF on Tuesday, 28 July.

Throughout the past week, parishioners, Basic Ecclesial Communities (BECs), ministries and visitors have come together before the Cross in prayer, offering their intentions for the Malaysia Pastoral Convention 2026 (MPC) and seeking God’s guidance for the Church in Malaysia.

Although the Perjalanan Salib will continue its journey to the next parish, its time at OLF concludes with an evening of prayer centred on Christ’s saving Cross and the hope it brings to all who place their trust in Him.

The evening’s programme is as follows:

6.30pm – Holy Hour
7.00pm – Holy Rosary
7.30pm – Holy Eucharist

Following Mass, all are invited to come forward to receive a special blessing with the Cross.

As the Cross continues its journey, may the faith, hope and renewal experienced during its stay at OLF remain with us, strengthening us in our Christian lives and in our preparations for the Malaysia Pastoral Convention 2026.

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.

The Church of Our Lady of Fatima will celebrate Catechetical Sunday 2026 on Sunday, 2 August, giving thanks for the dedicated catechists, teachers and volunteers who generously share the Catholic faith with children, young people and adults in our parish.

Catechetical Sunday is an opportunity to recognise that handing on the faith is more than teaching lessons in a classroom. It is a ministry of accompanying others on their journey with Christ, helping them to grow in their understanding of the Gospel and encouraging them to live out their faith each day.

This year’s celebration invites us to give thanks for those who quietly serve in this important ministry. Through their generosity, patience and witness, they help shape future generations of Catholics and nurture a deeper love for God within our parish community.

All parishioners are warmly invited to join us at the Holy Mass celebrations:

🕣 Tamil Mass: 8.30am
🕥 English Mass: 10.30am

As we celebrate Catechetical Sunday, let us also remember in our prayers all catechists, teachers and those who faithfully proclaim the Good News through their words, example and service.
