1 Our Lady of Fatima Catholic Church 4020 Lomas Blvd. NE, Albuquerque, New Mexico (505) OFFICE (505) FAX Very Rev. Stephen Schultz, Pastor Very Rev. John Daniel, Vicar General (in residence) Deacon William Ennis At Our Lady of Fatima Parish we are committed to know, love and serve God through Word and Sacrament, through our shared experience as the Mystical Body of Christ, and through the call to full, conscious and active participation in parish life. October 28, 2018 MASS SCHEDULE Saturday Mass :30 AM Saturday Anticipatory Mass for Sunday :30 PM Sunday Mass :30 AM, 10:00 AM and 12:00 PM Weekday Mass- Monday through Friday :30 AM Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday :15 AM HOLY DAYS OF OBLIGATION 6:30 AM, 8:15 AM and 6:30 PM UNLESS OTHERWISE NOTED CONFESSION Saturday :30 to 5:00 PM or by appointment EUCHARISTIC ADORATION Mondays 8:45AM to 6:00PM ANOINTING OF THE SICK First Fridays after the 6:30 AM & 8:15 AM Masses OFFICE HOURS- - Monday through Thursday- 8:00AM to 4:30 PM Friday 8:00 AM to 1:00 PM NOTES FROM THE PASTOR This coming Thursday, November 1 st, we will celebrate the Solemnity of All Saints which is a Holy Day of Obligation. Masses will be held at 6:30 am, 8:15 am, & 6:30 pm. It is a day when we honor the lives of all saints those officially recognized by the Church, as well as countless others known only to God. As part of the Apostle s Creed, we acknowledge our belief in the communion of saints. The communion of saints describes the spiritual union that exists among the saints in Heaven, the souls in purgatory, and the faithful living on earth. We are members of Christ s one Body, united in His divine life even beyond the grave, and are concerned with one another s salvation. St. Paul emphasizes this unity in Christ s Body in 1 Corinthians 12:12-27 and in Romans 12:4-16. St. Paul tells us that death cannot separate Christians from Christ or from one another. In that union, we call for help and support from those who have already won their crown of glory. In our human families we turn to one another requesting prayers. How much more should we turn to the saints in Heaven for their prayers and inspiration. Honor of the saints includes imitation of them, prayers requested of them, and reverence given to them for the holiness that they modeled. All reverence of saints is actually reverence of God, for we are honoring the holiness of God that was made present in their lives. Just as the moon does not give off its own light, but rather reflects the light of the sun, the holiness in the lives of the saints is a reflection of the light of Christ living through them. Just as Paul asked fellow believers to pray for him (Romans 15:30; Colossians 4:3; Thessalonians 5:25; Ephesians 6:18-19; 2 Thessalonians 3:1), we now ask Paul and all the other saints in Heaven to pray for us. On the Solemnity of All Saints, we celebrate our unity in Christ with all of the saints, joining our prayers to theirs, and using them as role models for ourselves in answering God s call to salvation and holiness. On Friday, November 2 nd, we will observe The Commemoration of All The Faithful Departed, better known as All Souls Day. Masses will be offered at 6:30 am, 8:15 am, and 6:30 pm. In some part of ourselves we forever mourn the loss of our loved ones, and All Soul s Day is an opportunity to bring that loss to the forefront of our minds. But this day is also an expression of our hope and confidence that our loved ones, in death, somehow remain with us. All of us, living or dead, are claimed by Christ. We are part of a community of believers, a community that encompasses all those who have followed Christ, past and present. Through birth, life, death, rebirth, and new life, we belong to one another. We belong to Christ! All Saints Day and All Souls Day.... Page 3
