2020 Fatima Lenten Mission
“St. Joseph, Our Guardian”
"His is a silence permeated by contemplation of the mystery of God, in an attitude of total availability to his divine wishes. Let us allow ourselves to be "infected" by the silence of St Joseph! We have much need of it in a world which is often too noisy, which does not encourage reflection and listening to the voice of God." (Pope Benedict XVI, December 18, 2005)

During Lent of 2020, the theme for the Lenten Mission at Our Lady of Fatima Church Parish will focus on St. Joseph, the silent protector of the Redeemer.
On each Tuesday of Lent we will have a presentation on St. Joseph following the 5:30pm Mass in Church. After the 5:30 pm Mass we will have Solemn Exposition of Eucharist. The Presenter will then give his perspective talk. After the talk we will pray the Litany of St. Joseph followed by roughly 15 minutes of silent prayer before the Eucharist.
March 3rd – St. Joseph, Husband of Mary by Deacon Tim Maragos

Fatima's Lenten Journeys

A Lenten Invitation
March 2 – April 4, 2020 – Five Hours over Five Weeks
When St. Faustina was praying before Jesus in the Holy Eucharist He showed her a vision. Each time a person entered the chapel and visited Jesus exposed in a monstrance, she saw His Divine Rays of Love and Mercy burst forth and encircle the world and everyone in it with graces and blessings! Through Perpetual Eucharistic Adoration Jesus unleashes His rays of healing upon us, our families and the whole world.

We invite you this Lenten season to commit to spending one hour each week for the 5 weeks in Lent before God in our Adoration Chapel. Just as our relationships with our spouse, children, and loved ones deepen as we spend time with them, so our relationship with Jesus deepens through time spent in Eucharistic Adoration. Bring Jesus your joys, sorrows, worries, and petitions and let him comfort you. Quiet your heart that you might hear his heart speak.

Monday and Wednesday, following the 6:15 am Mass to 5 pm
