Notre�Dame de Fátima est le vocable sous lequel est invoquée la Vierge Marie telle qu'elle était apparue à trois enfants (Lucia Jesus Dos Santos, Francisco Marto et Jacinta Marto) à Fátima, petit village du centre du Portugal, à six reprises au cours de l'année 1917. Ces apparitions, dont le message porte sur la prière et les fins dernières, ont d'abord été l'objet de méfiance, aussi bien de la part des autorités civiles que des autorités religieuses. Puis, dès 1930, le succès populaire de ce qui devient un grand centre de pèlerinage est accompagné de la reconnaissance de ces apparitions par l'Église catholique romaine. La fête de Notre�Dame de Fátima a été fixée par le Saint�Siège en 2009, à la date du 13 mai, jour anniversaire de la première apparition, le 13 mai 1917. Mais les fidèles réitèrent la célébration de la fête au jour du 13 octobre qui marque la fin des apparitions.!!

Nap di tout moun mèsi anpil ki te patisipe nan ede prizonye ki nan peyi Dayiti. Nap fè tout sa nou kapab pou voye tout atik yo ale jwenn Prèt ki anchaj prizon nan depatman Lwès la. Men pou koulye�a nap fè yon ti kanpe sou pwojè sa. Nou pa bezwen pote anyen pou koulye�a. Nap pran yon ti tan pou fè yon evalyasyon e pou nou mye oganize nou. Na rekomanse yon lot lè.!!

Yon Gwoup nan Brockton yo rele "MindFest" envite nou vin patisipe nan sa yo rele "The Mental Health Festival" ki se yon gran atelye enfòmasyon ak divètisman kote kap gen Mizik, ekspozisyon, manje, 'art Therapy', ak tout kalite resous nap jwenn nan men Pwofesyonèl Sante Mental yo, e ak anpil lòt bagay ankò. Festival sa ap oganize nan Fuller Craft Museum ki sou Oak St jou kap Samdi 19 Me kap vini an de 2pm a 5pm.!!

Chorale Fraternite ap envite nou nan Fèt yo a lokazyon 26èm anivèsè yo ki ap fèt nan 'Generations' nan Avon preskan fas WalMart. Nan fèt sa ap gen prezans Group Smooth Vibe Admission: Granmoun $45; timoun $20. !!

Apostola Ayisyen nan Achidyosèz Boston an ap oganize yon sesyon sou Litiji nan Pastoral Center Achidyosèz la avèk P. Gaetan Boursicot ak P. Rommel Eustache, jou kap Vandredi 13 ak Samdi 14 Jiyè kap vini�an. Manb ki nan Komite Litijik Kominote�a envite pou make dat sa e fè sa yo kapab pou patisipe. Frè patisipasyon se sèlman $20. Nap jwenn nan men sè nou Marquise fèy enskripsyon pou patisipe nan sesyon sa. !!

Nap mande�w tanpri lè wap vini legliz pa vini pou kont ou. Envite yon frè, yon sè oubyen yon zanmi vini ak ou.lè wap vin Legliz. Ofri yon moun ki pa gen machi�n woulib, ofri�l wap pase chèche�l. Se yon moun wap mennen bay Jezi. Lè sa non sèlman ou fè yon gwo Apostola, men tou sakrifis lamès ou patisipe�a ap donnen anpil bon jan fwi pandan ke wap jwenn benefis bèl jès sa nan men Granmèt nou�an.!

From the Spiritual Development Committee

In every place and in every time since Pentecost

the Holy Spirit has been present to guide you, me

and the whole Church. It is this Spirit that does,

and will continue to renew the whole earth. Allow the Spirit to

guide your words, thoughts and actions one moment at a

time (such small steps). This way the Spirit will renew our lives,

our neighborhoods, our Church and all humanity. So, let

each of us pray this traditional prayer to the Holy Spirit often.

Come, Holy Spirit, fill the hearts of the faithful. Enkindle

in us the fire of your love. Send forth your Spirit and we

shall be created, and You shall renew the face of the

earth.

Let us Pray

O God, who continues to instruct the hearts of your people

by the light of the Holy Spirit, grant us by this same Spirit

to be truly wise and ever to rejoice in His holy comfort.

Through Christ, our Lord, Amen
