Fatima Family Altar Association

About Us

In 2022, Parish Vitality members developed a much-needed organization for NOW and the future of Fatima parish/school.
The main goal was to have a volunteer organization for families, where grandparents, mom, dad, and children serve together and separately.
The organization has volunteer opportunities to care for our Church, fundraising, annual gumbo fundraiser picnic volunteers, men and women to help decorate our church for events and holidays, and many MORE opportunities!

1 Peter 4:10-11 says, “Each of you should use whatever gift you have received to serve others, as faithful stewards of God’s grace in its various forms… so that in all things God may be praised through
Jesus Christ.”
