Archbishop Timothy Costello will celebrate this very special Mass on Sunday 23rd July at 9:45am.

Following Mass light refreshments will be served in the Parish Hall.  To help with the catering it would be appreciated if everyone could please bring a plate of finger food to share.

We hope to see everyone to celbreate our 100th Anniversary of Our Lady of Fatima Parish and School!

As many in our community are aware, the Sisters of Our Lady of the Missions have been instrumental in our school history. During the first week of June a dwarf flowering gum was planted on the oval at Our Lady of Fatima School to honour the importance of the Sisters to the history of our school community. Sister Shelley, Sister Veronica and Sister Margaret explained that part of their mission is to plant trees around the world, to honour Pope Francis’ call to care for our earth in his encyclical Laudato Si.

Our little dwarf tree is planted alongside the fence on Hammad St, and our Year 5 class are going to be its custodians over the next few months to help make it strong. The Sisters have requested that the tree be named Euphrasie Eucalyptus, after the founder of the Sisters of Our Lady of the Missions https://rndmaustralia.org.au/euphrasie/.

Fatima Movie: Friday 13th October at 6:15pm
The second showing of the Fatima Movie will be shown on Friday 13th October at 6:15pm in the Church.  Everyone is welcome to come along. This date was chosen because the sixth and final miracle, the Miracle of the Sun, ocurred on the 13th October, 1917.  This was essentially in response to the prophecy made by the children.  The children told the people in the village to come out and witness it.  There are reports of over 70,000 people being in attendance.

Celebration Supper Dance: Friday 10th November 7:00 pm
Held on Friday 10th November at Melville Bowling Club, 7-11 pm.  This is an adults only event with a licensed bar.  Please bring a plate of finger food to share.  Tickets are $20.00 each and will be on sale from Saturday 20th May at all Masses thereafter.  Please bring cash to pay for tickets as we dont have a tap machine.

Fr Francis' Golden Jubilee Mass will be held 6:00 pm Friday 5^th May.

As an expression of thanks to Fr Francis we have placed a box at the back of the church for you to put your gratitude notes for him. Everything placed in the boxes will be collected (starting Easter Sunday to end of April)  and put in a gift box. This will be presented to him at the Mass.

Meeting for Centenary Celebration working groups will be held on​​​​​​​ Wednesday 5th April at​​​​​​​ 6:30pm in the Meeting Room of the Church. If you have your name down for any of the groups please make an effort to come along. Looking forward to seeing everyone Wednesday night.

We look forward to welcoming Fr Benedict Lee as the new Parish Priest for Our Lady of Fatima Parish, Palmyra. He is currently the Parish Priest of St Joseph’s Bassendean. He was ordained in Perth in 2002 and has served previously in Scarborough and Wanneroo parishes.

Fr Benedict Lee will start at Our Lady of Fatima on Wednesday 11th Jan 2023 after Fr Francis completes his tenure after 23 years of service.

We thank Fr Francis and wish him well as he begins his next chapter.  We hope to see him in May to celebrate his 50 years of ordination if not sooner.

In 2023 our Parish turns 100! The Parish Centenary Mass will be cellebrated on Sunday 23rd July at 9:45am with Archbishop Timothy Costello.

MY JESUS, I believe that you are in the Blessed Sacrament. I love You above all things, & I long for You in my soul. Since I cannot now receive You Sacramentally, come at least spiritually into my heart. As though You have already come, I embrace You and unite myself entirely to You. Never permit me to be separated from You. Amen.
