Fatima Pilgrimage Mass

This month, the regular Sunday 8pm Mass will be replaced with the special Our Lady of Fatima Pilgrimage Mass, Rosary, Eucharistic Benediction, and Blessing of the Faithful. The Fatima Pilgrimage Mass will take place on Sunday, September 13 at 8 PM in the main parking lot.

Mass in the parking lot procedure

The only entrance/exit will be from Our Lady’s Way. There will be a security guard and volunteers who will direct you to your parking spots. Everyone will be lined up in rows to ensure safe entry and exit.

• Please stay in your vehicle at all times, unless you need to line up for confession or use the restroom. If you need to exit your car for those reasons, please alert one of the volunteers (in the neon vests). The restrooms that are designated for public use are only in the Family Learning Center.
• The vehicles will also need to remain at least six feet apart.
• We will broadcast the Mass on an FM radio signal so that you can follow along from your vehicle and we will announce the station to you upon arrival. The station we are currently using is 92.9 FM>
• Collection baskets will not to be passed during the liturgy.  You will be able to place your weekly gift in a basket as you enter or exit your section or the parking lot.  We strongly encourage online giving via the parish website (olop-shrine.org), as it minimizes contact and processing.  Mailing your envelope to the parish office is always an option as well.  We count on your continued financial support–many thanks to those who have contributed online!
• Eucharistic ministers will walk to each car. Please turn on your hazard lights and make sure the car windows are down before the Eucharistic Minister arrives.
• After the final blessing, parishioners should remain in their place. You will be dismissed in an orderly fashion.

We also plan on live streaming the Fatima mass, so you are welcome to tune in at www.olop-shrine.org/coronavirus/olop-online/ or click on the links below.
