On our pilgrimage to the Holy Land we offer a complete itinerary that includes round-trip airfare, accommodation in first class hotels, breakfast and dinner daily, all transportation, daily Mass and all under excellent organizing, leadership and teaching from Nativity pilgrimage expert staff and Guides.

2020 ARCHBISHOP CHARITIES & DEVELOPMENT DRIVE

As we all know, we have launched the ABCD. Please come forward to make a pledge. Please support them.

May I take this wonderful chance to thank Fr. Tony for preaching for the ABCD. He was awesome. May God bless him and grant him a very long and peaceful life.

As he had mentioned, this is one of the best ways to support the diocese and all the activities of the Diocese like education of the seminarians, supporting the retired priests and reaching and teaching the most vulnerable in the society.

As we are all blessed, its good and our responsibility as well to support our blessing to our people. We will have a second collection to support the ABCD.

As Mother Theresa beautifully puts it

“GIVE TILL IT HURTS YOU”

Please remember it is not how big or small that matters but the heart to support the most vulnerable among us.

God bless your heart.
