God Bless You All

A Message from Father Nathan

My dearest people closest to my heart!
God bless you and your generous heart.

New Year’s Blessing:

May the Lord bless you with renewed hope, deep peace, good health, and abundant grace in the year ahead.

May God grant you strength in challenges, joy in daily life, and His guiding light in all that you do.

Thanks to all the Volunteers Who Made our Christmas Festvities Special

I want to extend my appreciation to all our parishioners, like the tech team, Eucharistic ministers, lectors, decoration committee, choir, ushers, and whoever was involved with the Christmas celebration. Even though I want to name each and every one of you for your active participation, God knows you all. Thank you.

As we step into the New Year,

I extend my heartfelt wishes to each one of you. May the Lord bless you with renewed hope, deep peace, good health, and abundant grace in the year ahead. I am deeply grateful for all that you have been to our parish during the past year—for your faith, generosity, service, prayers, and commitment.

Together, we have journeyed as one family of faith, and your presence has been a true blessing to our parish community. Please know that you remain always in my prayers, and I carry your intentions with me as we begin this new year.

May God grant you strength in challenges, joy in daily life, and His guiding light in all that you do.

I also want to remind you that I will be away on my holidays for a short period. During my absence, for any emergencies or urgent pastoral needs, I kindly ask you to contact the parish office, and they will assist you accordingly.

Wishing you and your families a grace-filled and blessed New Year. May the Lord continue to walk with us and lead us forward together.

With prayers and blessings, and ever at your service

— Fr. Sahayanathan Nathan

It teaches that Mary, …

A Tribute to my Mother
She loved God, the Church, and her priests.
“The greatest gift God can give to a family is a priestly or religious vocation. A vocation born in a family is God’s blessing to that family, a joy to the parish, and a grace to the whole community.” The quote above is often attributed to St. John Bosco, and I have always felt it speaks the truth about my own family.

The Gift of Time and Prayer.
If the secular world cannot come to Christ in prayer, why don’t we bring them to Christ through our prayers? They are weary and burdened, and they, too, need to find rest in Christ Jesus. Prayer honors God. It acknowledges His presence and His greatness. It exalts His power, trusts in His providence, seeks His help, and, above all, makes us humble.

The Eucharist: The Center of Our Lives. My dearest people, closest to my heart,
As a second and third grader, I would sometimes go to church at 3:00 a.m. and sleep on the church steps until it was time to open the doors. That was simply part of my routine. I wanted to be an altar server…
