Nossa Senhora de Fátima


Nossa Senhora de Fátima is the smallest community. It is on the main road to Juina. Sadly, I think, it will be closed soon. Two families cannot keep it open. Once it was a thriving community but when its local sawmills closed down, the people moved away. Two neighbouring communities have already been closed. I have only visited once and that was for night Mass as it is close to town. It is also near the river and at the end of Mass my white vestments were covered with flys.
