Our Lady of Fatima Contest

In commemoration of the 100th Anniversary of Our Lady of Fatima first appearing to the three shepherd children--Lucia, Jacinto, and Francisco--on May 13, 1917 our church will hold a procession on Sunday, May 7th at 2:00 pm. 

Applicants in the Our Lady of Fatima contest will be asked to take place in the procession on Sunday, May 7th (please arrive at 1:45 pm for instructions and finding your place in the procession). Winners from each grade will take on a special role in the procession. 

Contest for Children in Pre-K4 through 3rd Grade

Our Lady of Fatima Coloring Page (Click HERE)

Applicants will be judged based on neatness and resemblance of Mary's appearance as she is shown in traditional images of Our Lady of Fatima. We encourage parents to guide children by looking up images of Our Lady of Fatima online, learning a bit about the apparitions, and making the experience of coloring this page a prayerful experience.

Please turn coloring pages in no later than Sunday, April 30, at the church office, the collection basket (in an envelope marked Religious Education), or when you attend Faith Formation.

 

Contest for Children in Grades 4-12

Our Lady of Fatima Essay Contest

Answer the following question in 250-350 words: Why is the message of Fatima important for us today?

Applicants are asked to type their essay and to include their name, grade, parent phone number, and parent email in the upper right hand corner. Applicants should first learn what the message of Fatima is and then give their answer. Parents are encouraged to help their children and youth research the message of Fatima, but leave the student to answer the question of its importance.

Please turn essays in no later than Sunday, April 30, at the church office, the collection basket (in an envelope marked Religious Education), or when you attend Faith Formation.
