A Message from Father Nathan

appreciation and gratitude

I witnessed lots of attendance during the daily Masses, weekend Masses, and even for the Stations of the Cross.

I want to extend my appreciation and gratitude to all of you for taking up the Lenten season so seriously and for practicing your faith. I witnessed lots of attendance during the daily Masses, weekend Masses, and even for the Stations of the Cross. May God bless you!

Special Acknowledgements

There are a few people who really need acknowledgement and appreciation: our choir director, Edgar, and Charla. The amount of time they put into the meaningful celebration is incredible. May God bless them. Special mention to Charla for always being extremely generous toward the church with her time and talents. May God bless her.

In the same way Patricia Corea, as the key person for the tech team. She spends days making those slides. May God bless her, and with her there is a great crew working together, Anthony, Mic, Mary Lou, Claudia, and Sam, Lilliana, and Julie likewise. There is a great team!

And under the leadership of Mary Lou Soucy, the core group for liturgy, Pat, Terry, Allison, Dores, and Deb did a lot for the whole week. God bless their hearts.

And the decoration committee, Lillian, Katie, and their crew, amazing team. In the same way, extraordinary (Communion) ministers, Lectors, and Ushers. What a team!! Everyone gives their best for the good of the church and for the greater glory of God. May God bless you all!! Let us keep up the spirit, and may God bless you!

With prayers and blessings, and ever at your service

— Fr. Sahayanathan Nathan

The Catechism of the Catholic Church explains holy days of obligation this way:
