Celebrating the 100th Anniversary of

Our Lady’s Apparition at Fatima, Portugal 1917-2017

Fatima is the most prominent approved apparition of the 20th century.

It became famous the world over, particular for its three-part message or "secret."

PARISH LIBRARY OPEN

FOLLOWING WEEKEND LITURGIES

Former parish offices have been

converted into a new parish library.

To find it walk through the double doors in the

southeast corner of the parish center (behind

the fireplace).

The mission of the parish library will be to

help our parishioners grow in faith. Therefore,

we would like to update and grow the

collection of books and DVDs to focus more

on Catholic teaching, spirituality, Scripture,

devotions, and other Catholic topics. To do

this we have set up a “wish list” on

Amazon.com. If you’d like to purchase books

for the new library, please visit our parish

website (www.olfatima.org) and under the

“Donate” tab you will find a link to “Amazon

Wish List”. The books will be automatically

delivered to Our Lady of Fatima. Check it

frequently as we will add new titles often.

Stop by following mass to check out a book.

The new parish library replaces the one

previously located in the school student

library. Please remember to return any books

you may have already checked out from the

earlier library collection.

SCHOOL MINISTRY NEWS

The school has paused for the

President's Day weekend. An

opportunity to pause and refresh as we

gear up for our third trimester, which is

just around the corner. Our 8th grade students have

learned this weekend of their acceptance into our

local Catholic high schools, which is another

milestone in their final year with us.

OLF alumna, Ginger Markow, is a National Merit

Scholarship Finalist - an award bestowed upon fewer

than 1% of graduating seniors. After Fatima, Ginger

attended Bishop Blanchet where she has excelled not

only in the classroom but also as a pole vaulter and

as a young woman committed to doing service in her

community. We are proud of her accomplishments!

STEWARDSHIP OF TREASURE

Thank you for all your gifts!

Please remember your parish in your will

In today’s first reading, the Israelites are urged to

love their neighbors as themselves. In the Gospel,

Jesus spells out how we are to do that– to give

generously to those who ask of us and not to turn

our backs on those who seek to borrow.

phone will direct you to our parish
