Nearly 200 children and family members from both Catholic and public schools participated in the Diocesan Celebration of the Worldwide Eucharistic Adoration for Children at Blessed Sacrament Church, Cypress Hills.

The Blessed Sacrament was brought from the chapel to the main altar by Father Frank Shannon, pastor.

Message of Fatima

Sister Alice Michael, S.U.S.C., shared key elements of Our Lady of Fatima’s message which then led to the praying of the Rosary and the singing the Fatima hymn.

Throughout the Holy Hour, the children participated in praying the Fatima Prayer and the Angel’s Prayer given to the Fatima children by an angel who visited them at Fatima.

Auxiliary Bishop Paul Sanchez celebrated the Mass of the Memorial of the Holy Guardian Angels. Three children, who were dressed as the children of Fatima, read the petitions which concluded with another child placing the Candle of Unity before Our Lady of Fatima with the prayer suggested by the Worldwide Children’s Eucharistic Holy Hour organizers.

Theodore Musco, executive director of the School of Evangelization concluded by thanking the participants for being there and inviting all to refreshments where the spirit of the occasion continued.
