CONFIRMATION
After a long wait (due to the COVID lockdown in August), our children finally were confirmed last Wednesday on the feast of Our Lady of Sorrows. Praise be to God. This year our Parish had 39 children; the most we have had a for long time. The Church was near to full with the families and friends of the children. It was a wonderful celebration.
I would especially like to thank Sr Hannah and Sr Ignatius for preparing and teaching the children the Sacrament. We appreciate the Sisters’ dedication and time in teaching our children. I would like to thank also the Leaders from Rising Youth Ministry who prepared gifts for the children and their help in organising the evening that went so well. Finally, we congratulate our 39 confirmands. May they always be opened to the guidance and gifts of the Holy Spirit in their lives.

SENIORS GROUP AND ANOINTING MASS
We will now launch the Seniors group on Tuesday 5th October. We will begin with an Anointing Mass at 9am in the Church, then move to the Blue Hall for the social gathering. Everyone is welcome. I would like to thank the Awaken Community for introducing this initiative. Already I have been told a lot of our seniors are looking forward to this gathering.

PROCEDURE FOR CONTACT-TRACING AT OUR LADY OF FATIMA
There is no longer any need to pre-book for Mass. Since the 9am Sunday Mass is always full, we will count the number of people attending this mass. Once we reach the church capacity of 190 people, we will have to ask latecomers to leave. Please come early to secure your seat at Mass.

We saw this rainbow over the church on the 1st Sunday of Lent after our Spiritus Mass on Sunday at 5pm. That day the first reading was from the book of Genesis where it has the story of God making a covenant with Noah through the sign of the rainbow. It was amazing. It’s God’s sign for our parish.
