A Message from Father Nathan

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

What is the Sacrament of Confession? Why do we need confession? What are the benefits of going to confession? The Sacrament of Confession is one of the most unique and beautiful aspects of Catholicism. Jesus Christ, in His abundant love and mercy, established the Sacrament of Confession so that we as sinners can obtain forgiveness for our sins and reconcile with God, our neighbors, and the Church.
