A Message from Father Nathan

Christ is Risen! Alleluia!

Death has been conquered, sin is forgiven, and new life is given to all who believe in Him

As we celebrate the great feast of Easter, we rejoice in the heart of our faith: Jesus Christ is risen! Alleluia! Easter reminds us that death has been conquered, sin is forgiven, and new life is given to all who believe in Him.

Christ has triumphed overall.

The Resurrection of the Lord is a message of hope and renewal. It assures us that no darkness is too deep, no sorrow too heavy, and no struggle too great – for Christ has triumphed overall. He invites each one of us to rise with Him, to live in faith, love, and joy, and to become a witness of His light in our world.

I personally, on this joyful occasion, take a moment to sincerely thank each and every one of you- our dedicated parishioners-for your hard work, commitment, and sacrifices. Your efforts in preparing and celebrating the liturgy, especially during this holy season, have truly made our worship more meaningful and prayerful. Your generosity and service reflect the living presence of Christ in our community.

May the Risen Lord bless you and your families abundantly, fill your hearts with peace, and strengthen you in faith. Wishing you all a joyful and blessed Easter! Alleluia!

With prayers and blessings, 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…
