OUR LADY OF FATIMA FEAST DAY 

On Tuesday 13th May we came together as a school community to celebrate the feast of Our Lady Of Fatima - a day filled with faith, fun and learning. We had moments of prayer and meditation reflecting on Mary‘s message of peace, hope and trust. Children listened to the story of the apparitions of Fatima and learned about the importance of the Rosary. The students' creative sides came alive as they produced beautiful artworks inspired by Mary. We also spent the day with laughter and excitement on an inflatable obstacle course, a fun and memorable way to celebrate as a whole school community.

OUR LADY OF FATIMA PRAYER 

Dear Our Lady of Fatima,

We come before you with hearts full of gratitude and love. On this special feast day, we remember your appearances to the three children in Portugal and the messages of peace, prayer, and hope you shared. Help us to follow your example by praying the Rosary, offering sacrifices, and seeking peace in our hearts and in the world.

Bless Our Lady of Fatima school, our families, and all who are in need of your loving care. Guide us to live with kindness, faith, and compassion, just as you taught the children at Fatima.

Our Lady of Fatima, Pray for Us! 

Amen.

God Bless
