Our Lady of Fatima Parish of the Diocese of Brooklyn is a Roman Catholic community composed of various cultural and ethnic backgrounds. We are a family united by our faith in God the Father, empowered by Christ, and guided by the Holy Spirit. The founding parishioners first assembled in the year 1948 inside a quonset hut, a remnant of a world war. Today, in the twenty-first century, like the airport lights atop the present church building, we strive to be a beacon of hope and a welcoming presence of the Church. Renewing our vows of Baptism, we strive to respond by offering our unique gifts and talents in the service of others. To build up the Kingdom of God’s love, we proclaim His Word, celebrate the Sacraments and share in the Eucharist. Following the model of the first Christian disciple, Mary the Mother of God, we seek also her intercession in the “New Evangelization”. Thus we manifest our enthusiasm for our Catholic faith, invite others to share our commitment and foster Gospel values in our society.

The central Catholic act of worship is attending the Mass, or Divine Liturgy. The Mass is divided into two parts: the Liturgy of the Word, and the Liturgy of the Eucharist.
During the first part, the priest leads us in prayer and songs, praising God, thanking Him, and asking Him for forgiveness. We hear Scripture readings, the priest gives a talk, and then we all pronounce the core principles of our faith.
In the second part, the priest says the blessing, transforming bread and wine into the Body and Blood of Christ. We all say the "Our Father" prayer, and then receive communion. Finally, there is a closing prayer and final blessing.
