A very big THANK YOU to Fr Likisone Tominiko, for accepting the invitation to be main celebrant of Fatima day and as usual it was a great success.

This Shrine is a treasure to the Order, Diocese and country, any help and forms of talent are always most welcome. For more information or specifics, please speak to Fr Joseph Maria, Subprior.
SHRINE HYMNBOOKS
Over the past year year we had a trial to organically develop a Shrine hymnbook cover the hymns sung and devotions celebrated. This took place from Ash Wednesday 2023-Ash Wednesday 2024. This past week the finalised product arrived and has been distributed in the Church. A huge THANK YOU to Fr Joseph Maria for coordinating and working on the hymnbook along with the musicians. This has been a mammoth task and one that we can enjoy in years to come.
Please note: The hymnbooks are NOT to be taken from the church.
