A Message from Father Nathan

Dearest People,

 

May the peace of Christ dwell upon you…

I have a few philosophies of life, among them is to look at the positives of life.  I think the devil is quite busy 24/7. 

Yes there are problems, worries, tensions and concerns everyday knocking at our door hence we feel that we are drowning, which is understandable.  I believe these events teach us a lot.  They mold and shape our lives.  When we look at the postives of life, we will be able to cherish the different flavors of life. 

My life and spiritual directors helped me a lot in this regard.  This attitude keeps my INNER PEACE enkindled and shining.  The reason I believe why I DO NOT count the blessings is, we tend to take life for granted or we tend to expect a lot  from life….Let us cherish life and let us also count the blessings of life

I have one piece of good news to pass on to you.  We had our website updated.  It has been given a new shape to the website due to the hard work and sacrifice of our people namely Art Battista, Barbara Rietberg and Kelly DiMasico.  May God bless them all.  Great job Ms. Kelly DiMascio.

Some people have also brought to my notice that they have received e-mails and text messages from me requesting money from them.  It’s a scam.  I have not done it  and I WILL NEVER do that.  Please be aware of it.

May God bless you all.

With lots of love and ever at your service

Fr. Sahayanathan Nathan

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…
