New Tower Update

Questions Answered

Very many of you have been inquiring about our church tower, when are we starting work and everything involved with it. Some of you are concerned about the financial aspect of it and some of you want to contribute toward it and want to be involved in it. God bless your heart.

Discernment

I thought about it long before and prayed to discern about it. We discussed it with the parish and financial council. I want to thank and express my appreciation to Mr. Guy DeJohn, who is very much involved with this in detail and has spent years working toward it. God bless him.

City Permitting

I am so delighted that our system, like our city, expects lots of details to get the permit. We are working on them. We have the approval of the city and of the Archdiocese, and now we are working on the final details. We will start soon and will be done sooner.

Want to Contribute?

Those of you who want to contribute to this, please do so. If you want your name to be imprinted on the church tower like a paver, we can have a plaque board and a donor’s wall. If you want to be acknowledged, we can do that; if you want to be anonymous, we can do that. Please contribute whatever you can.

Cost

We foresee that it may be around $800,000. I have saved a good amount of it. But we need at least $250.000 more to complete the whole work, hence your benevolence would be very much appreciated

God bless you all.

With prayers and blessings, and ever at your service

— Fr. Sahayanathan Nathan

This weekend we are celebrating the Assumption of our Blessed Mother. It is one of the four dogmas of the Church. The Assumption of Mary is a central dogma of the Roman Catholic Church, formally defined by Pope Pius XII in the Apostolic Constitution Munificentissimus Deus on November 1, 1950. It teaches that Mary, …

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…
