Fatima Feast Celebrated at St Laurence’s

St Laurence’s Catholic Church in Cambridge, under the pastoral care of Fr Robin Joseph CRM, recently marked a deeply prayerful and joyful celebration in honour of Our Lady of Fatima.

The parish community came together for a nine-day Novena, culminating in a well-attended Mass for the feast. Each day of the Novena was marked by a heartfelt gesture of devotion, as parishioners brought fresh roses and flowers to offer to Our Blessed Lady. By the end of the celebrations, the church was beautifully adorned with these floral tributes, a visible sign of the love and reverence held by the faithful. At the conclusion of the feast day Mass, parishioners were invited to take flowers home, extending the spirit of the celebration into their own homes and continuing their devotion.

Following the liturgical celebrations, the parish gathered in the hall to share a vibrant multicultural feast, reflecting the rich diversity and unity of the St Laurence’s community. It was a joyful occasion of fellowship, with parishioners bringing and sharing dishes from a variety of cultural traditions.

The day was made even more special as the community celebrated the 20th wedding anniversary of Deacon Gianluca and his wife, Erminia. Their milestone was warmly acknowledged, adding a further note of thanksgiving and joy to an already grace-filled occasion.

Altogether, the celebrations were a beautiful expression of faith, community spirit, and devotion, leaving all who attended with a renewed sense of unity and gratitude.
