Celebrating the 29th Sacerdotal Anniversary of Rev. Fr. Andrew Manickam

On 17 July 2026, the parish community of the Church of Our Lady of Fatima gives thanks to God as Rev. Fr. Andrew Manickam celebrates the 29th Anniversary of his Priestly Ordination.

For twenty-nine years, Fr. Andrew has faithfully answered God’s call to serve His Church through the celebration of the Holy Eucharist, the proclamation of the Gospel, the administration of the Sacraments, and the loving care of God’s people. His priestly ministry has been a source of spiritual guidance, hope and encouragement to countless individuals and families.

As we mark this special milestone, we invite all parishioners to join in praying for Fr. Andrew—that the Lord will continue to bless him with good health, wisdom, strength and renewed zeal as he carries out the mission entrusted to him.

May the Holy Spirit continue to guide him, the Blessed Virgin Mary, Mother of Priests, watch over him, and may St. John Vianney intercede for him as he continues to shepherd God’s people with joy and fidelity.

“I thank my God every time I remember you. In all my prayers for all of you, I always pray with joy because of your partnership in the gospel from the first day until now.”
— Philippians 1:3–5

Happy 29th Sacerdotal Anniversary, Fr. Andrew. Ad multos annos!
