A Message from Father Nathan
My dearest people who are close to my heart!
Prayerful greetings to you.
Greetings From India
It has been one week since I have been here.
I took my family for a pilgrimage to one of the basilicas of our Blessed Mother. One of my brothers who met with an accident wanted it, without any doubt my mother as well yearned to be there. We all made it and we had a great time.
I did remember to pray for all of you. I requested my family as well to pray for you. It was a blessing.
I performed a wedding at the previous parish where I was the pastor. It was a fulfilling moment to see my people and the kids that assisted them as well settling in their life.
Praise God for the priesthood. This whole week I am going to be busy with a few of my friends, spending quality time with them.
Next week I have a wedding to perform. Please pray for me. Thank you.
Missing St Gabriel + ABCD
I believe things are going great there. Let us continue to support and pray for the success of the ABCD. I believe it goes great there. Please let us support them and complete our goal.
Remember, we are very much extemely blessed with worldly comforts and prosperity to the greatest extent.
We are very much given and hence very much expected of us and lots of responsibility is upon your shoulders to be faithful and loyal to the Lord and to our Holy Mother Church.
What a BLESSED LAND that our Lord has given to us, a nation with Christian principles and morals. I believe that what we are today, is because of our Christian principles and values.
Missing you all and thinking about you a lot.
God bless. May the good Lord continue to bless us.
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.

Welcome Back Seasonal Parishioners
Once again welcome back to you all my people. I am glad you are back here and I can’t wait to meet you when I return.
May you have a wonderful, safe, and peaceful time here.
God bless you all.

With lots of love and ever at your service,
Fr. Sahayanthan Nathan
