Fourth Apparition of Our Lady of Fatima Commemorated at OLF

On 19 August 2026, the Church of Our Lady of Fatima commemorated the Fourth Apparition of Our Lady of Fatima with Holy Hour, Eucharistic Celebration and a procession in honour of the Blessed Virgin Mary.

The Fourth Apparition recalls Our Lady’s appearance to Lucia, Francisco and Jacinta at Valinhos on 19 August 1917. The apparition took place six days later than the customary 13th of the month because the three shepherd children had been detained by the local authorities on 13 August and were unable to go to the Cova da Iria.

During the Holy Hour, prayers were offered for the conversion of those present, their families, society and the world. The faithful also prayed the two prayers taught to the shepherd children by the Angel of Peace.

During the Eucharistic Celebration, Fr. Albert Arokiasamy reflected on the Gospel and the abundance of God’s love and grace. Echoing Our Lady’s message at Fatima, he encouraged the faithful to focus on conversion of the heart.

Following Mass, the congregation joined in procession in honour of the Blessed Virgin Mary.

The Fifth Apparition of Our Lady of Fatima will be commemorated on 13 September 2026, and all are invited to join the parish community for an evening of prayer and devotion.
