Come for as little or as much of the events as you’d like!

Come join us with Our Lady of Fatima for a Eucharistic immersion into the contemplative world of the Gospel of John!  Jesus invites us to lean on His Heart and receive Mary as our mother as we listen to His words, as present-day beloved disciples.  We do this best with the Eucharist, with hearts lifted up in worship, and in awe-filled silence.  This will give us a multi-faceted contemplative encounter with the Lord Jesus.

In the context of Exposition of the Blessed Sacrament, Fr. Ignatius John Schweitzer, OP will lead a guided meditation through key passages of the Gospel of John.  His preaching will be interspersed with silence and with live-music, led by Gilbert Rodriguez, as we ponder on the mystery of Jesus Christ as present and active in our midst today and on Our Lady of Fatima’s call to us today.
