A Message from Father Nathan
My dearest people who are close to my heart.
Prayerful greetings to you! Time passes extremely fast. It has already been two months that I am here. Praise God. It is a blessing to be here and I am enjoying every second. Praise God. Thank you.
Since I have arrived here, I have been trying to meet people in person; I feel that it’s my responsibility to get to know my people. Know them in person.
I had a chance to meet a group of families at one of the apartments that I extremely enjoyed. That was one of the happiest days here in the parish. I literally loved it.
Having said this, I wanted to extend an invitation to you, in case you as a group or as families want to meet me at your place or want to come to the parish office to meet me, please let me know. I would love to do that, and have to do that.
Please remember I am here as the priest JUST for you all to render my service to you. It’s my honor to serve, please help me and allow me to exercise my priestly ministry to the fullest.
Pope Francis in 2013 urge Catholics bishops and priests to go out among their flocks, “be shepherds with the smell of sheep” Pope Francis.
The Pope also urged the faithful to “be close to your priests with affection and with your prayers, that they may always be shepherds according to God’s heart”.
God bless you all.
My humble prayers for you all.
With lots of love and ever at your service
Fr. Sahayanthan Nathan

Holy Days of Obligation | The Catechism of the Catholic Church
The Catechism of the Catholic Church explains holy days of obligation this way:
Family needs or important social services can legitimately excuse the obligation of Sunday rest (specified in the Fourth Commandment). The faithful should see that legitimate excuses do not lead to habits prejudicial to religion, family life, and health {CCC 2185}.
