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

Holy Days of Obligation | The Catechism of the Catholic Church
The Catechism of the Catholic Church explains holy days of obligation this way:
Family needs or important social services can legitimately excuse the obligation of Sunday rest (specified in the Fourth Commandment). The faithful should see that legitimate excuses do not lead to habits prejudicial to religion, family life, and health {CCC 2185}.
