Fatima Mass & ​Celebration

Fatima Mass & Celebration

Our Lady appeared to three young children in Fatima, Portugal in 1917 on the 13th of each month, May through October.  At Nativity we gather on the 13th of each month, May through October, to celebrate each appearance and meditate on the messages given to the children that month. Our celebration includes Holy Mass, Rosary and Candlelight Procession, Benediction, and a talk on the apparitions.  Mary taught the children about the gravity of sin, which merits temporal punishment, the reality of Grace by which we are given the vision of God, and the efficacy of the daily recitation of the Rosary to bring about world peace.  Please join us in these monthly celebrations that always commence in the month of May all the way to October . 


Note:  When the 13th falls on a Saturday, we celebrate on Friday.  And when it falls on a Sunday, we celebrate on the following Monday.   MASS BEGINS AT 7:00 p.m.


​For questions, please call Deacon Dominick at 650-269-6279

Consecration Prayer of the Church of the Nativity to the Immaculate Heart of Mary

O Most Blessed Virgin Mary, when you appeared in Fatima more than one hundred years ago, you desired that the Church should take refuge in your Immaculate Heart as a means that leads to Jesus, who is the way to the Father. Heeding your call, we entrust ourselves, our families, our parish, and our Archdiocese to the care and protection of your Immaculate Heart. As we prepare ourselves, through humble expressions of devotion, for the Consecration of our parish and our Archdiocese to your Immaculate Heart, inspire in us the longing to know, love, and follow your beloved son Jesus Christ. We ask that you help us imitate your spirit of generosity in doing God’s will and your example of serving others selflessly, so that, having found God’s abundant grace here on earth, we may one day be led to the everlasting joys of Heaven.
