Stations of the Cross

The Stations of the cross are led by various parish groups each Friday in Lent. A light dinner is available in the parish hall before the Stations begin.

Liturgy of the Hours

Morning prayers are offered 15 minutes before daily Mass during Advent and Lent. These prayers are the same prayers said for hundreds of years by clergy and laypeople throughout the world. Everyone is invited to join in prayer and prayerbooks are provided with an easy to follow guide.

Saints of the Month

Two Saints whose feast days are celebrated within the month are displayed in the narthex of the church. The information includes pictures, patronage, and a biography.

Prayer Chain

Members pray for those in need. The prayer chain is primarily an e-mail chain but also has a phone tree for those without e-mail.

To place a prayer request or to join the prayer chain contact Kim, 690-8841, kmkmtm@mindspring.com.

Military Support Group

This group is made up of spouses, parents, grandparents, friends, and siblings who have loved ones in the military. This group provides support, education, and special events for members.

Everyone is invited to join. Contact JoAnn, 693-8730 or Paula, 693-0580.

Prayer Blankets

Prayer blankets are special blankets handmade for those who are seriously ill. The blankets are blessed by one of our Priests and prayed over by members of our parish. The blankets serve as reminders that Jesus and the community are united with them in their time of need.

To request a blanket contact Bertie, 964-5454 or the parish office, 531-0770.

The Pilgrim Virgin

Our Lady of Fatima, also known as the Pilgrim Virgin, is undertaking a pilgrimage of hope by visiting the homes of parishioners for a week. This pilgrimage encourages conversion, prayer, and penance. The Pilgrim Virgin is presented to any requesting family or member of the parish at a Saturday morning Mass. The Blessed Mother will remain at their home for a week. A small pilgrimage guide, books, and aids for families and children are included.

The sign up sheet to receive the Pilgrim Virgin is located in the narthex on the bulletin board near the kitchen counter.

Rosary Group

Members of the Rosary group say the Rosary and the Divine Chaplet after every daily Mass in the Adoration Chapel. Everyone is invited to join in. Rosary and other prayer aids are available on the table outside the Adoration Chapel (Day Chapel side door).

Communion and Visitation Ministry

Volunteers provide the Blessed Sacrament, companionship, and support to the elderly, sick, or homebound in their time of need. Visits include nursing homes, retirement centers, and those homebound.

For more information or to volunteer contact Kathy, 406-7628.
