View the July 9, 2021 letter from Very Rev. Stephen Schultz, Pastor, regarding Our Lady of Fatima ministries.

With the new health order issued by the Governor that goes into effect today, December 2, 2020, we are now permitted to have Mass attendance of up to 25% of our capacity. The past two weeks, the limit was 25% of capacity or 75 people, whichever was less. At 25% we are now able to have up to 175 people attending Mass in person. That will be the limit for as long as Bernalillo County remains in the red or yellow tier. If COVID cases become better controlled and the county achieves the green tier status, our Mass attendance can increase to 50% of maximum occupancy. The parish office is now open normal hours with minimum staff.
