  • Fish Fry Friday

    Fish Fry Friday

    Yet another fantastic night was had at the annual Fish Fry Friday hosted by the Columbiettes. A large turnout meant the Columbiettes had a lot of fish to fry – “Simply Delicious” lived up to their company name and provided excellent food cooked onsite for everyone.

    It was great to see everyone talking and laughing while enjoying the food. This is a fantastic event and everyone is already looking forward to next year’s!

    Thanks to Patti Terranova and her Columbiettes team who outdid themselves yet again by providing an excellent event, and to the Knights who helped set up and take down at the end of the night, especially Xaviar Flores who took some excellent snapshots of the event!

  • St Patricks Day Fundraiser Event Report

    St Patricks Day Fundraiser Event Report

    A fantastic night was had at Our Lady of Fatima School Gym on Saturday afternoon, March 15th. A huge crowd of over 130 parishioners turned up to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day in style. The afternoon started with Fr. Paul giving an Irish Blessing to kick things off, followed by a fantastic meal provided by our top two sponsors, O’Neills Pub and Restaurant of Norwalk who provided the Irish food, and the Wilton Market who provided cookies and dessert for everyone.


    Once everyone had their fill, they gathered for the raffle of the year – in total, Wilton local businesses offered up 13 prizes, including Rings End Wilton, The Village Market Wilton, The Little Pub Wilton, Stop & Shop Wilton, Wilton Hardware, Marleys Restaurant Wilton, Craft 14 Kitchen & Bar Wilton, Pinocchio Pizza Wilton, Tavern on 7 Norwalk, Wilton Kneads, Tusk & Cup Wilton, the Wilton Chamber of Commerce and Sipsters Wilton. In addition, our local First Selectman,Tony Boucher, personally offered up about 13 UConn Huskeys and Wilton Highschool Apparel, including Sweatshirts, Hoodies, Shirts, and Caps. In total, over 26 very happy people left with prizes on the night, including Fr. Paul.


    This was all followed up with Irish Dancing from the MulKerin School of Irish Dancing from Fairfield, managed by Kathy Carew., who danced their hearts out for over 30 minutes. It was great to see the crowd clapping and cheering in tandem with the dancers.


    I would like to thank everyone who helped out in preparation for the night, including the Wilton Knights of Columbus, the Wilton Columbiettes let by Patty Terranova, and I have to specifically mention Suzette Grimmer who is a genius at creating marketing materials, Fr. Paul and, of course, everyone who turned up on the night. A goal that Patty Terranova and myself set for this year was to create social events for the parish that would bring people together and I think this event showed what a great time people can have by coming together and getting to know each other.


    Our next event is the Fish Fry Friday on April 4th – we will be posting further information about this shortly, so please stay tuned.

  • Successful Fr. Reggie Move

    Successful Fr. Reggie Move

    On January 25th, at 11am, about 30 Volunteers turned up to help Fr. Reggie move to his new St. Mark’s Parish in Stratford.

    Fr. Reggie has been Pastor of Our Lady of Fatima for the past 12 years and has been a big supporter of the Wilton Knights of Columbus, and is also the Faithful Navigator for Bishop Fenwick Assembly 100 based in Norwalk CT.

    Everyone got stuck in and helped load the truck which was generously provided by Richie Cunningham. Loading and unloading took over 3 hours and everyone returned to Our Lady of Fatima for some refreshments and pizza, a well earned meal!

    Thanks to everyone who turned up and we wish Fr. Reggie success in his new Parish!

  • Christmas Tree Lighting

    Christmas Tree Lighting

    A fantastic night was had on Saturday evening, December 7th, when Fr. Reggie kicked off the “Our Lady of Fatima” Christmas Tree Lighting Cermony in front of a large crowd of people just after the 4:30pm mass.

    The Columbiettes hosted a fantastic Pasta Dinner afterwards for everyone, with Patty and Suzette leading the charge, and Lyz photographing the event like it was Oscar night!. Everyone had a great time – it felt like Christmas Day came early! Thanks to all the Columbiettes who put on a fantastic feast and to the Knights who helped setup

    • The 2024 Christmas Tree Lighting Cermony was kicked off by Fr Reggie on Saturday the 7th with the Columbiettes hosting a fantastic Pasta dinner afterwards for everyone!
  • Wilton Town Creche Assembly

    Wilton Town Creche Assembly

    Our Christmas Season was kicked off on Saturday morning November 30th 2024 with the traditional assembly of the Creche in the town Center. A group of about 15 volunteers got together to carry the Creche from the Church garage to the Wilton Town Center where it was assembled by the team of eager experts in training!. The Baby Jesus will be placed in the Crib on Christmas Eve night.

    Afterwards, the team met up at Tusk & Cup Coffee House for some well earned hot refreshments and conversation.

    The Creche will be disassembled on Saturday, January 11th and returned to its home for the rest of the year in the Garage Loft at Our Lady of Fatima.

  • Coats For Kids Initiative 2024

    Coats For Kids Initiative 2024

    On Saturday, October 26th 2024, more than 900 brand new coats and hand-knit winter hats were distributed to clients of Family & Children’s Agency (FCA) by the greater Norwalk area Knights of Columbus Councils as part of the Order’s Coats for Kids Initiative. Sizes from toddler and children’s to men’s and women’s were organised and distributed. Since the initiative launched in 2009, more than 1 million coats have been distributed in 49 states and all 10 Canadian provinces to keep kids warm through the winter.

    Knights of Columbus Councils from Norwalk, Wilton, New Caanan, Westport and Bishop Fenwick Assembly 100 4th Degree worked together to purchase the brand-new coats with St. Matthew Parishioners Karen Delvecchio and Terri Sargant donating handmade winter hats and scarves for the 6th year in a row.

    Please review the official press release included as a picture below. Special thanks to Louis Furlo, Barry Gunderson, Bob Lenihan, Dave Flynn and Mike Healy for their help during the weekend. None of this would have been possible with the huge donations from “Our Lady of Fatima” parishioners, all the Knights who helped with the collections and Fr. Reggie Norman for his support (and Nancy O’Connell in the office).

    To see the look of relief and joy on the children’s faces was worth more than any lottery win anywhere in the world!
