Our Lady of Fatima Catholic Primary School
First Family Mass 2026 and you're invited
Sunday 1st March at 9.30am
You are invited to the first Family Mass of the year and it is a great opportunity to welcome our Kindergarten families, share our faith and pray together in this Season of Lent. Everyone is invited!
At this Mass the Kindy children will receive a small keepsake in celebration of their first year at big school - the much loved The Our Lady of Fatima Storybook. The Year 6 families will be leading us in prayer. They are keen to share not only their friendship but their faith with their buddies.
Bring a plate to share for Morning Tea after the Mass.
Please come along and join in this beautiful celebration of the Eucharist.
We buried the “Alleluia!”
Dating back to the 13th century, the church has abstained from saying “Alleluia” during the Lenten season. It is a way we remember with our words that we are in a season of repentance, of turning from and putting to death our sins. We stop saying Alleluia because we are saving up all of our joy and praise for the Lord on Easter Sunday.
On Tuesday in preparation for the Season of Lent the Year 6 leaders led us in prayer and then carried out the task of burying a printed copy of Alleluia. We will dig it up on Easter Sunday (or after the school holidays) when we once again can say and sing the Alleluia at Mass and Church celebrations in the Season of Easter.
