“Liturgy is like a strong tree whose beauty is derived from the continuous renewal of its leaves, but whose strength comes from the old trunk, with solid roots in the ground.” – Pope Paul VI

At Our Lady of Fatima we are guided through the liturgical documents of the Church and approved by the Diocesan of Wilmington guidelines, the Liturgy Department coordinates the liturgical life of Our Lady of Fatima parish with the guidance of our Pastor.  The Liturgy office is responsible for determining goals and specific objectives for the liturgical life of our parish in conjunction with the pastoral plan.

Liturgical Ministries

By virtue of baptism, each of us is called to minister to the needs of one another. One way to serve is through one of the Liturgical Ministries. To meet the spiritual needs of our community and to make our liturgies truly life-giving celebrations requires the gifts of everyone. Our hope is that you will prayerfully consider becoming a part of one of these ministries.
