A Message from Father Nathan

My dearest people closest to my heart!
God bless you and your generous heart

Happy Easter to you all

Jesus is a real part of our Lives

Once again Happy Easter to you all, I was extremely delighted with your participation in the Holy Week celebrations and even at daily Mass. I am extremely happy that you are taking Jesus so seriously in your life. May God bless you.

Thank You to Our Parish Volunteers

I wanted to appreciate a few of our parishioners for putting their hearts and soul first into the good of our community and to the Lord. I know that they may not like to be publicly acknowledged; may God bless their humility, but I wanted to appreciate the choir people: Andrew, Ani, Char, and their crew volunteering every Friday of the week to share her talent to sing for the Stations of the Cross.

Special appreciation to Mary Lou Soucy for coordinating all the ministries such as the tech team, Eucharistic Ministers, and Lectors, and now she has also joined the decoration committee. She does a lot for our community. May God bless her. I wanted to thank all the EM’s and Lectors. You are so great you are there every time It’s needed. God bless you.

I wanted to appreciate Ms. Patricia Corea for helping us with the screen an putting a lot of time into sharing her talents for us to pray better. May God bless her.

I wanted to appreciate the liturgy committee head, John Wohlford and volunteers who helped this year. Ms Mary Lou Soucy, Ms. Pat Galvin, Ms. Terry Guthke, Ms. Allison Dolcetti and Ms. Raquel Berrios-Colon who assisted us with all the Holy Week celebrations May God bless them all.

The church decorations were all great. They are under the leadership of Ms. Kathy Duet. Assisting her were Ms. Margo Messina, Ms. Katie Brennan and Mr. Anthony Brogna. Some of them were involved in everything! They wanted to participate and be involved in all of the activities of the church. May God bless you all. As I very many times brag, there is lots of good will to serve for the betterment of the community and for the glory of the Lord.

May God bless you all.

I wish to acknowledge and appreciate the prayer tank, of our parish under the leadership of Ms. Marie Helene Barcheski. I believe in the power of their prayers. The group prays every day for our parish. There is a great amount of people who participate in this group. They are the backbone of our parish. May God bless each and every one of them. Let us grow as a better worshipped community, grow in love and relationship, accepting each one of us as they are, for the betterment of our community and to the greater glory of our Lord Jesus Christ.

With lots of love and blessings,

Ever wanting to be faithful to your service,

— Fr. Sahayanathan Nathan

It’s election mode time. Everything we say and do will be perceived with a political outlook. But at the same time as the Church, we need to be the voice of Christ. Mother Teresa on the “Great Destroyer of Peace – Abortion. The passage below is the voice of Mother Teresa at the National Prayer Breakfast in Washington D.C. on February 5, 1994. I believe her wisdom and concerns are so relevant today. Here you go.
