A few of the many other things going on in our parish this month:
Sundancer Gala
Please help the Our Lady of Fatima community by bringing a gift card of any amount to help fill Toto’s basket! Blind Faith Brewing at De Steeg Brewing is happy to host Our Lady of Fatima’s Sundancer gift card drive on the last Monday of each month- July 30 and August 27. When you bring a gift card to Blind Faith, you will get $2 off any beer. All donated gift cards will go to the games and silent auction baskets at the Sundancer Gala. Come enjoy good beer, good friends and good fellowship while supporting Our Lady of Fatima parish and school! See the
Flyer. Remember, there’s no place like home! The Sundancer Gala will be on October 13, at the Pinehurst Country Club. We are working on details regarding donations and invitations to the Sundancer. Be on the lookout soon for more information! For questions or interest to volunteer at the gala, please email
sundancergala@gmail.com.
Perpetual Adoration
There is no better way to spend time than with the Lord in Adoration. Our Adoration Chapel is perpetual only because of the dedicated adorers who keep vigil. Please consider signing up to be a regular or substitute Adorer through Pentecost 2019. It takes all of us to keep our Perpetual Adoration Chapel open. Signup at
Adoration Signup or at
www.FatimaLakewood.com/Adoration. We are looking to fill Sunday at 11 pm, Wednesday at 9 am and Friday at 7 pm, as well as looking to form teams to cover a couple of the open overnight slots. If you would be willing to cover one of these slots once every 8-12 weeks, please email us at

PARISH VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITIES
New Parishioners Ministry!
Our goal is to personally reach out to new parishioners and make them feel welcome and loved at Our Lady of Fatima. We are planning on doing this by looking for a team of volunteers to meet one on one with a new parishioner. On average, a volunteer would meet with a new parishioner once every two months. This would entail calling/emailing the new parishioner, meeting with them one on one at Our Lady of Fatima Parish, and showing Christ’s love to them by creating friendships with them. Contact or Danielle Jones at 303-233-1283 or

Fatima Mass Greeters
Would you like to become a Greeter for weekend Mass? We invite you to sign up and try it out! We especially need Greeters for Saturday 5 pm and Sunday 5 pm Masses. Being a Greeter is simple! We arrive 15-20 min. early to Mass and station ourselves at an exterior door of the church. As people arrive, we offer a friendly hello and open the door. If you are feeling a nudge from the Holy Spirit, email Elisa Foster. To see a greeter in action, click
here. Thank you for prayerfully considering helping welcome the Lord’s flock to the Supper of the Lamb!
