Parish Dinner Club.  The fifth season of the OLF dinner club will begin in September.  We meet for a low-key dinner in groups of ten at various parishioners’ homes on the second Saturdays of September, November, January, March and May to break bread and share fellowship.  It is a great way to get to know your fellow parishioners in a more intimate setting.  For more information, click here: Dinner Club, or send an email to Kevin@Jekada.com if you think you might be interested.

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. Ticket sales will begin August 4 after all Masses and run until September 30. Invitations and solicitation information will be sent to your home soon! For questions or interest to volunteer at the gala, please email sundancergala@gmail.com.

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 olfadoration@gmail.com.

All events are free and for everyone:

August 1st and 15th – Bingo in the Parish Hall from 6:30pm-8pm.  Bring a snack to share!

The Knights are always looking for quality men who wish to be better fathers, husbands, and Catholics to join our family-oriented council. Consider coming to a social meeting on the fourth Tuesday of every month at 7 pm, or talk to a Knight at the pancake breakfast, or join the Knights' FlockNote group at Knights. They can also be reached at KofC9597@gmail.com or 1-844-COKofC.

Our parish school is gearing up for the 2018-19 school year.  So far, we are welcoming new 45 families.  If you still need to register, we have spaces in Kindergarten, Fourth, and Seventh Grades.  Eighth graders may register if they are transferring from another Catholic School.  Please contact the school office to set up a tour.

We are excited to announce that we are continuing our once a month Parish/School Collaborative Masses.  Our Lady of Fatima School students will be greeters and readers at the 9:00 Mass on the 2nd Sunday of each month.

PARISH VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITIES

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 olfdaniellejones@gmail.com
