Fatima Parish Update / April 8, 2020 – Part 2

On-line Masses for Holy Week

The Masses for the Easter Triduum will be live-streamed on Facebook with access through our parish website which is www.fatimachurchabq.org.

• Holy Thursday liturgy will be at 6:00 PM
• Good Friday at 6:00 PM
• Holy Saturday at 8:00 PM
• Easter Sunday at 10:00 AM

After these liturgies have been live-streamed, we will also have a recorded version available afterward, if all goes as planned. We are still very new at this “streaming video” process and there have been some “hiccups” along the way, but we really appreciate the kind comments we have received from parishioners who are grateful for the chance to watch Mass from their own church.

Drive-Thru Confessions on Holy Saturday

At the beginning of Lent it was announced that we would not have confessions on Holy
Saturday. However, our Priests have decided to make themselves available for drive-thru
confessions on Holy Saturday at the normal time of 3:30 PM to 5:00 PM.

ENTER from Lomas Blvd. and drive up to the Priest. Remain in your vehicle but roll down the driver’s side window and make your confession. After receiving absolution, you may pull forward and park to offer your penance. 

EXIT on to Morningside Drive. If more than one person is in a vehicle, persons other than the driver will need to exit the vehicle and approach the Priest on foot, observing social distancing a standing at least 6 feet away from the Priest.

CRS Rice Bowl Contributions

For those who have been using the CRS Rice Bowl as a means of offering alms during
the Lenten season, it is requested that you convert your total amount collected to a check and mail it to the parish office. You can also make your CRS Rice Bowl contribution online at
https://archdiocesesantafegiving.org/virtual-crs-rice-bowl.

Thank you for Offerings

A very special “Thank-you!” to all of our parishioners who have continued to drop off or
mail in their weekly offertory envelopes. With the churches being closed to help prevent the
spread of the corona virus, the parish initially suffered a substantial decline in operating income, but each week more and more people have been making sure to get their offertory envelopes in which helps us to pay our bills that continue to come in, as well as payroll for our employees. May God bless you for continuing to support your parish!
