A Message from Father Nathan

My dearest people who are all close to my heart
Lots of love, blessings, and prayers to you all.

We Achieved our ABCD Goal.  Thank You!

I want to let you know how much I appreciate and thank you for all your support and financial assistance with regard to ABCD. We did achieve our goal for this year 2023!! Many of you came forward to support the diocese and the parish. May God bless you all. I would like to thank all the families who were very generous toward this cause. If it were not for your support, we would never have achieved it. It’s only through the involvement of many families and some big-hearted generous donors, we reached our goal. Thank you. God bless you.

Every day whenever I sit in my prayer I do thank God for you and for the love and support you have for our church and for the betterment of our church. It really makes me humble and pushes me to be a little more responsible toward my commitment. Many of you have a big heart to serve this community. I can name so many of them. Very many want to be so humble in serving the church, never wanting to be acknowledged or any approval. God bless you all.

Witnessing your commitments and dedication to thank the Lord and plead with Him to strengthen my commitment toward Him and to His Church.

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}.
