Dear Parishioners,

It seems that I was just wishing that everyone would

have a blessed Summer and now Summer is coming to

at least an unofficial end next weekend. I want to wish

all those who are either entering or returning to an

educational or technical training program etc. much

success in the school year to come. I pray that you will

open your hearts to receive all the knowledge and

wisdom that is sent your way. I pray that all teachers,

staff and volunteers who in anyway impact the handing

on of knowledge may do so with inspiration and

enthusiasm each and every day. May the Academic

Year be one of blessing and satisfaction for all.

May the Lord continue to shower His Graces and

Blessings on you and your loved ones in the week to

come.

Fr. George

Estimados Feligreses,

Parece que yo sólo estaba deseando que todo el

mundo tendría una bendición de verano y ahora el verano

está llegando al menos final no oficial el próximo fin de

semana. Quiero desear a todos aquellos que están

entrando o regresando a un programa educativo o

técnico, etc. mucho éxito en el año escolar por venir.

Ruego que abra sus corazones para recibir todo el

conocimiento y sabiduría que el manejo en el

conocimiento puede hacer con la inspiración y el

entusiasmo cada uno y todos los días. Que el Año

Académico sea una bendición y satisfacción para todos.

Que el Señor continúe regando Sus Gracias y

Bendiciones a usted ya sus seres queridos en la semana

venidera.

FATIMA FACTS: EPILOGUE Francisco (born on June 11, 1908) died at home on

April 4, 1919, after suffering for months from the

influenza. Jacinta (born on March 11, 1910) was also a

victim of the 1918 influenza epidemic but was sent to

the hospital having developed pneumonia and

tuberculosis; she died alone on February 20, 1920. Her

face was found incorrupt when her body was exhumed

in both 1935 and 1951. However, Francisco had

decomposed. Pope John Paul II declared Francisco and

Jacinta “Venerable” in 1989 and then declared them

“Blessed” on May 13, 2000. They were canonized

“Saints” by Pope Francis on May 13, 2017.

Lucia (born on March 28, 1907) entered the Sisters of

St. Dorothy in Tui, Spain in 1925 but received papal

permission in 1946 to enter the Convent of the

Carmelite Sisters of Coimbra in Portugal, taking the

name Sister Maria Lucia of Jesus and the Immaculate

Heart. She had been deaf, blind, and ailing for several

years before her death on February 13, 2005. On

February 13, 2017, she received the title “Servant of

God” from Pope Francis, which is the first major step

towards canonization. The bodies of Lucia, Francisco

and Jacinta are buried in the Basilica at Fatima,

Portugal.

The Apparitions of Our Lady at Fatima with their

profound message of prayer and penance were declared

“worthy of credence” by the Catholic Church on

October 13, 1930. We, at Our Lady of Fatima, a parish

under her patronage, should certainly be the first to

spread her Message of Prayer and Penance!

OUR LADY OF FATIMA Our Lady of Fatima Parish, in East Baltimore, will be

celebrating the 100th anniversary of the 6th and final

apparition of Our Lady in 1917 to the three little

shepherd children of Fatima. The celebration will begin

with a Mass at 10:30 AM, followed by Exposition of

the Blessed Sacrament with the recitation of the Rosary.

Private adoration follows until 7 PM. The closing

consists of Scriptural Reading and homily,

Consecration to the Immaculate Heart of Mary,

procession of Our Lady of Fatima statue with Rosary,

Benediction, and Reposition of the Blessed Sacrament.

Make plans to join us this day, Friday, October 13th, at

Our Lady of Fatima Church, 6400 E. Pratt St.,

Baltimore, Md. 21224. There is plenty of parking

available. Handicap accessible. Contact number is 410-
