A Message from Father Nathan

Give thanks to God for 250 Years of American Freedom

🇺🇸 God Bless America! 🇺🇸

“Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord.”Psalm 33:12

As we celebrate 250 years of American freedom, let us give thanks to Almighty God for the many blessings bestowed upon this great nation.

With grateful hearts, we remember the sacrifices of those who came before us and pray for wisdom, unity, peace, and justice for generations to come.

May God continue to bless America, guide our leaders, protect our people, and inspire us to be faithful citizens committed to liberty, compassion, and the common good.

As the United States marks the Semiquincentennial—250 years since the adoption of the Declaration of Independence on July 4, 2026—we celebrate the freedoms we enjoy and give thanks for God’s abundant mercy, love, care, and guidance throughout our nation’s history.

Let us also pray that America continues to be a nation rooted in faith, freedom, love of neighbor, and hope for the future. May we preserve these values and pass them on to future generations.

As St. Augustine wisely said:

“Trust the past to God’s mercy, the present to God’s love, and the future to God’s providence.”

God has protected our nation in the past, continues to sustain us today, and, by His providence, will lead us into the future.

🇺🇸 Happy Fourth of July! 🇺🇸
God Bless America! ❤️🤍💙

God bless you all.

With prayers and blessings, and ever at your service

— Fr. Sahayanathan Nathan

It’s election mode time. Everything we say and do will be perceived with a political outlook. But at the same time as the Church, we need to be the voice of Christ. Mother Teresa on the “Great Destroyer of Peace – Abortion. The passage below is the voice of Mother Teresa at the National Prayer Breakfast in Washington D.C. on February 5, 1994. I believe her wisdom and concerns are so relevant today. Here you go.

On October 1, Catholics around the world honor the life of St. Thérèse of the Child Jesus, or St. Thérèse of Lisieux on her feast day. St. Thérèse was born January 2, 1873 in Alençon, France to pious parents, both of whom are scheduled to be canonized in October 2016. Her mother died when she was four, leaving her father and elder sisters to raise her.
