Welcome Brothers.
Pope Francis proclaimed 2021 as the Year of St. Joseph to commemorate the 150th anniversary of the declaration of St Joseph as Patron of the universal Church. As Patron Saint to Our Lady of Fatima’s Men’s Ministry we should look to St. Joseph for spiritual guidance as well as a role model in everyday life.
As we begin to gather this year, our Men’s Ministry will focus on the examples of St. Joseph. How do we support our families, our communities, our church? What does it mean to be a husband, a father, a son, a brother a man of faith?
On the 1st Friday of each month at 6:30pm, we will hold an evening Vesper and spend some time afterwards to begin discussion and reflections. All men of the parish are welcome.
On the 3rd Friday of each month at 6:30pm, we will meet for prayer and fellowship. Possible discussions and planning of future events. All men of the parish are welcome.
Our Lady of Fatima: Men's Ministry Mission Statement
The mission of the Our Lady of Fatima’s Men’s Ministry is to provide an opportunity for the men of the parish family to encounter Jesus Christ and grow in their faith. Assisting each member in their faith journey at whatever stage they are at. Providing a supportive brotherhood to grow faith and fellowship through prayer and actions.

Prayers to Saint Joseph,
Dear Saint Joseph, God the Father chose you from all men to be the husband of Mary and the foster father of Jesus. So close were you that Jesus was known simply as the Carpenter's son. We now ask you to please intercede before our Heavenly Father for His protection, provision, and peace. Help us sell our home and find a new one, suitable for our needs. Grant us harmony and grace in our home, and may we be ever hospitable to family, friends and neighbors. Finally, when our life on this earth is over, bring us safely to our heavenly home, where at last, we shall enjoy eternal joy with you and all the family of God. Amen.
Oh, St. Joseph, whose protection is so great, so strong, so prompt before the throne of God, I place in you all my interests and desires.
Oh St. Joseph, do assist me by your powerful intercession and obtain for me from your divine son all spiritual blessings through Jesus Christ, our Lord; so that having engaged here below your heavenly power, I may offer my thanksgiving and homage to the most loving of Fathers. Oh St. Joseph, I never weary contemplating you and Jesus asleep in your arms. I dare not approach while he reposes near your heart. Press Him in my name and kiss his fine head for me, and ask him to return the kiss when I draw my dying breath. St. Joseph, patron of departing souls, pray for us. Amen.
