As you can see from the list below, Our Lady of Fatima is truly blessed by the richness of the variety of parish ministry groups. All are welcome and encouraged to fulfil their calling to be a fully participating member of the congregation. If you are wondering how you may help, or what your calling maybe, this is your chance to explore what happens in these parish groups. If you cannot find the group you are looking for please contact the Parish Office who will be happy to help.
Altar Servers
All who have received their First Communion are welcome to join the Guild of St. Stephen. We currently have over 100 altar servers, both boys and girls in the parish. Please click the heading above for more information.
Children’s Liturgy
The Children’s Liturgy is at 11.00 am mass on a Sunday. All children in Reception class to Year 6 are welcome. Anyone interested in joining the team is doubly welcome. Please click above for more information, or just to find out what your child experiences when they attend Children’s Liturgy.
Church Cleaners
Our church always looks spotlessly clean and all the furniture is gleaming. Unfortunately this does not happen by itself. Keeping God’s house in order is a worthwhile and blessed task. Anyone interested in even an hour a month should contact the parish priest.
Eucharistic Ministers
The Eucharistic Ministers help to give communion at mass and to the sick. Please click the heading to find out more about this ministry.
The Flower Group
The Flower Group provide the glorious arrangements we see all year round in the parish. They not only nurture us with the beauty they provide, but each other, within this talented and prayerful group.
The Gardeners
In the year 2000 a remarkable transformation occured around the church. What had been a barren paved area suddenly became a place of beauty. That the transformation happened during the Jubille year was an added bonus. The team that worked on this project worked extremely hard, but like all projects this one did not finish when the last plants were put in and the last bricks laid. If you have gren fingers perhaps this is the ministry for you.
Light in White City
The parish magazine was conceived, named and edited by Father Liam Holohan, a Mill Hill Misionary who spent some time in our parish. Available for sale in the church. Anyone is welcome to join the team, all ages are welcome. anyone with desk top publishing skills would be most welcome.
The Liturgy Group
The wonderful celebrations we enjoy at Easter and Christmas do not just ‘happen’, they are the fruit of much planning and prayer. Many of the groups that are mentioned on this page are represented on the Liturgy Group. This ensures that all the teams can co-ordinate their activities and that previous celebrations can be appraised. They say that the only perfect liturgy is in heaven but we try to bring a little of that to our celebrations at White City.
The Music Group
The music group is justly famous for the quality of music that they produce. All our celebrations are enriched by their playing and singing. All musicians and singers are welcome to join this group.
The One World Group
Have you ever wished the world was a fairer place? Does Third World poverty upset you? Do you support Fair Trade? Are you interested in CAFOD? If you answered ‘YES!’ to any of these questions then you may be interested in the One World Group.
Society of St Vincent de Paul
The aim of the S.V.P is to help those that need it. They started the group on June 2002 and welcome anyone of any age to come and help.
