A Message from Father Nathan

My dearest people who are close to my heart.

Thank you

I want to thank each and every one of you for your postive comments as well as for your constructive suggestions.  I do take each and every one of your suggestions so seriously and try to take attend to them. 

Encourage Friends and Family to Join you at Mass

I am also witnessing that Mass attendance is on the increase even for daily Masses which is good.  Please bring your friends and families for Mass.

It is my Greatest Honor to serve

Please let me know if anyone in your family needs a visit from me.  I will be more than happy to do that.  I will do anything to bring people together and to build up the community.  Please let me know.  I believe that is one of my responsibilies.  Let me have the honor to do it.

The Power of Prayer

May I request you all, please spend some time doing your family prayers.  I do understand you may have a hectic schedule and workload, but amidst all of this we are called to pray whenever it is convenient.  I would encourage you to do it as a family.

Please remember I am taking all of you to the Lord every day in my prayers; my morning, afternoon and evening prayers are offered only for all of you.  Please be assured of my prayers. 

I will end with this life incident of Archbishop Fulton Sheen.  He suggested to the priests that they have to pray at least one hour before the Lord.  There was a priest who said that he has a hectic schedule that he cannot pray one hour, to which Archbishop Fulton Sheen told him that HE HAS TO PRAY TWO HOURS.

May our prayers enrich our lives!

Many Blessings!

Please be assured of my prayers for each and every one of you.  You are rememberred and prayed for in my personal prayers and at the altar.

 

With lots of love and ever at your service,

Fr. Sahayanthan Nathan

Celebrating my 21st Ordination
May 10
This week, I will celebrate my 21st Ordination anniversary. I DO NOT like any celebrations for me personally, but when the priesthood is celebrated, I really like it. It’s not the person but the priesthood of Christ…

Holy Doors Pilgrimage Trip Report. We are back, healthy and renewed. We had a great pilgrimage to Rome and Assisi. Everyone stayed healthy. The places we visited were more than I expected! I have realized that I have yet to learn an ocean of knowledge about our Catholic faith.

Become a Prayer Warrior. Time is Precious & With Age we Gain Time. There is no doubt that most of our parishioners are age 63 plus. Some may be quick to assume that because of our age, we cannot do a lot to contribute to the community and to society. It’s so unfortunate to think that.

I am in Rome on the Holy Doors Pilgrimage with a Group of Parishioners. Please keep us in your prayers. Preparations have begun for Holy Week and Easter. We have planned the liturgies and all the details they involve. I wish and pray that our people have a meaningful celebration of Holy Week and Easter.
