Our Lady of Fatima Centenary

1917 to 2017 (May to October)

First Saturday Devotions (during the Centenary) May to September 2017

The Centenary provides an excellent opportunity to start the First Saturday Devotions if you’ve not practised it before, or for you to renew and refresh.     We very much hope that one of the many blessings of the Centenary Year will be the uptake and continuation of the Devotion which is monthly for 5 months starting on Saturday 6th May 2017.

First Saturday Devotions as requested by Our Lady of Fatima are now part of the regular prayer life of our Parish and will be observed every First Saturday at 12 noon, in the Church.  Please join us in person or over the internet.  First Saturday dates for the remainder of the year are: 5 Aug, 2 Sep,  7 Oct, 4 Nov & 2 Dec. 

You must love one another just as I have loved you.
It is by your love for one another, that everyone will recognise you as my disciples (John 13:35).

Please click on "what to do", to find out the dates, devotion acts, what the Devotions entail and the spiritual benefits,  in order to answer Our Lady of Fatima’s call and God’s wish to establish Devotion to the Immaculate Heart of Mary.  By doing this,  the souls of sinners will be saved.

We are filled with grace & blessings  

Many thanks to the Custodian, Representative & Team from the World Apostolate of Fatima (England & Wales) supported by the Knights of St. Columba, for bringing the National Pilgrim Virgin Statue to us together with the relics of the St. Francisco & St. Jacinta in early August 2017.  To find out more about the miraculous events of 100 years ago,  which took place in Fatima, Portugal,  plus the prayers,  click here to download a special Centenary Fatima 2017 bulletin.
