Our monthly Marian devotions, Our Fatima Day, is this week on Thursday, the 13th of July.

Here is a selection of photos from our Fatima Day this month. We thank Fr. Mark De Battista for coming to be the main celebrant for the day.
Since it was also the feast of St. Anthony, we had the blessing of bread that is traditional to his feast.
The next Fatima Day is July 13th, and we look forward to seeing you all again then to honour our Lady.
We would like to make some clarifications about the Fatima Day this Tuesday 13 of June. The day will follow our normal Fatima Day program. The preparations for Fr Gabriel’s funeral will not change that.
Also since the 13th of June is the feast of St Anthony the Mass will be that of his feast day and it will be the conclusion of our Novena to St Anthony and there will be the traditional blessing of bread associated with St Anthony’s Feast Day. Everything else will be according to the normal Fatima Day program.
Our monthly Fatima Day, which we celebrate on the 13th of every month, is approaching. This month the main celebrant will be Fr. Mark De Battista.
We are looking forward to seeing you all there. If you have not been before, have a look at the photos to see what happens. If you have, let us know about your experiences in the comments.

Here are some photos from the Fatima Day Procession that was held on the 13th of this month. The next Fatima Day is, of course, the 13th of June.
However, much work is needed to be done to continue to be able to develop our Shrine. So Fr Richard and Fr Joseph Maria are looking for volunteers to help with the running and maintenance of the Shrine of Our Lady of Mercy Penrose Park. This includes volunteers to help on days when large crowds are expected, volunteers to help with the cleaning of the church, but especially volunteers to help with the cleaning up and maintenance of the grounds.
We are looking for volunteers that would be interested in helping either on a regular bases or on occasions such as when we organise working bees. We are now looking at starting some regular working bees to tidy up the grounds, especially at the main entrance of the property and around the chapels and Grotto. This is a mammoth task! For anyone interested in helping please let us know in the comments or reach out to us via email at penrosepark@osppe.org.au.
