Archbishop John C. Wester has issued the following letter declaring a time of hope and healing throughout the Archdiocese of Santa Fe.

In the Christian tradition, light is a symbol of faith, truth, wisdom, virtue, grace, the divine life, charity, the ardor of prayer and the sacred presence which flow from Christ Himself. With this background, we can appreciate the usage of votive candles. At Our Lady of Fatima Church, we have votive candles located on the two side altars, one which honors the Sacred Heart of Jesus, and the other which honors the Immaculate Heart of the Blessed Virgin Mary.

As we continually strive toward healing in the Church, the Parishes of the Archdiocese of Santa Fe will offer a “Healing From Abuse” Mass for all who have been affected by all types of physical and mental abuse. The Church is the Body of Christ, therefore, the wounds of one are the wounds of all. Together, we may begin and continue the healing. These Masses will be scheduled in Parishes for September 14th or 15th. At Our Lady of Fatima Parish, our “Healing From Abuse” Mass will be at 5:30 PM on Saturday, September 14, 2019.
