All Saints Day 

All Saints’ Day commemorates all the saints in heaven. The feast dates back to the early Church, when communities would gather and celebrate the anniversary of the martyr’s death. During the persecution under the emperor Diocletian at the beginning of the fourth century the number of martyrs became so great that a separate day could not be assigned to each saint, so the Church established a common feast day for all the martyrs.

 

Bless the many parted souls

who lived their lives with grace.

Bless the saints in heaven,

gathered in that special place.

 

May we tell their stories

and remember all the ways

they lived their faith

and spent their days.

 

There is glory and reward,

even if at first there’s strife.

Oh, blessed saints, you help us see

a path that’s to eternal life.

 

May we always hold them dear

and know their life and place.

May we know their inspiration

and aspire to their grace.

Reconciliation 

The students in Year 2 are continuing to prepare to make the Sacrament of Reconciliation over the next few weeks. During this time we ask that you keep them in your prayers as they make this important step in their faith journey. 

Family Masses 

This year we will be inviting grades to be a part of Family Masses. These Masses will enable our families to make connections with the parishioners at Our Lady of Fatima. Here are the mass dates over the year,
