All are invited to the 9:00AM Mass dedicated to Our Lady on Saturday, April 24^th.  Immediately after Mass there will be a showing of the movie “Fatima,” about the miracle of Fatima.  There will be light conversation following the movie.  This is a prelude to the Five First Saturdays Devotion that the Knights of Columbus are initiating at OMPH. 

The Knights of Columbus Father Daley Council #4191 are initiating the Five First Saturdays Devotion beginning May 2021 and ending October 2021.

The Five First Saturdays Devotion is the forgotten part of the Fatima Message. It centers on the urgent need for mankind to offer reparation and expiate for the many injuries that the Immaculate Heart of Mary suffers from the hands of both impious and indifferent men.

On the First Saturday during 5 Consecutive Months, the Devotion consists of:
1.  Going to Confession,
2.  Receiving the Sacrament of Holy Communion,
3.  Saying five decades of the Rosary,
4.  Meditating for 15 minutes on the mysteries of the Rosary.
All this offered in REPARATION for the sins of blasphemy and ingratitude committed against the Immaculate Heart of Mary.

The Intention - To console the Immaculate Heart of Mary, offer reparation for the Blasphemies and ingratitude of unrepentant sinners, and for peace in the world. Although the Five First Saturdays can begin the first Saturday of any month, the Knights are scheduling the devotion to begin the month of May to correspond with the first month Mary appeared to the three children of Fatima. For more information on the Fatima Apparitions and the Five First Saturdays Devotion, go online to www.americaneedsfatima.org.

OMPH will hold penance services the Wednesday before the first Saturday of the month as follows; April 28, June 2, June 30, August 4, September 1 and September 29. The penance service will begin at 6:30 p.m. with praying the five decades of the rosary, 15 minutes of meditation on the mysteries of the rosary followed by individual confession. Communion should be received as the final requirement for Our Lady to assist with the graces necessary for salvation at the hour of death.

Please note the Five First Saturday devotion can begin any month as long as the four requirements are done during five consecutive months. Please see The Five First Saturdays pamphlet for details. Pamphlets to participtae in the devotion can be found in the parish office of contact Knight Dave Hugenbruch at 610-750-4749.
