A Message from Father Nathan
My dearest people who are close to my heart.
As the month of December is here and the Christmas season approaches. I wish you all the best.
Prepare for Christmas
Please let us prepare for Christmas. We need to celebrate it. It’s the pride of every Christian.
We will certainly have external decorations. May I also request that you prepare inwardly for the coming of Christ.
Confession – Reconcilliation
The best way to prepare for the coming of Christ would be confession. We will have a Novena for Christmas from December 16 through December 24, 2019. There will be a novena with benediction along with confession. May I urge you all to spend some time in prayer and make a good confession as well in preparation for Christmas.
Get Involved!
So Many Ways to get Involved…
- Join the Men’s Club

- and so much more…
There is only one person in the world just like you and we want to encourage you to share “you” and your gifts with the Parish.
Volunteer Fair – This Weekend!
This Sunday after all the Masses representatives of all the parish groups and organizations will be present in the hall recruiting new members for their group.
Please may I request each and every one of you to just go there and stop at the hall. My wish is that every member of our parish should be in one group or another. That way we all can contribute something to our parish. This would also make you more involved in the parish. Hence please stop and volunteer for at least one group.
Please let me know any constructive suggestions to make it more meaningful to the celebration of Christmas. I am open to it. May God bless you.
Please be assured of my prayers for you.
God bless you and the members of your family!
With lots of love and ever at your service,
Fr. Sahayanthan Nathan
