A Message from Father Nathan

My dearest people closest to my heart!

God bless you and your generous heart.

Our Church is more than a building

– it is our extended home

Our Church is more than a building – it is our extended home. Just as we celebrate the joys and milestones of life within our family homes, I warmly invite you to make the Church the heart of your celebrations too.

While growing up, every birthday, wedding, anniversary, sickness, intention, or special occasion began at the altar. I encourage you to do the same – let your life’s moments be rooted in the house of God.

Offering Masses for your intentions

Offering Masses for your intentions – be it for good health, healing, thanksgiving, or for the repose of a loved one’s soul – is a meaningful way to deepen our spiritual journey together.

Flower Donations

If you wish to donate flowers to adorn our Church, I would deeply appreciate it.

keep our sacred space beautiful

Together, we can keep our sacred space beautiful, prayerful, and welcoming for everyone. Whether you choose to be humble and remain anonymous or prefer to share your offering with the community, both are perfectly fine – what matters the most is the spirit in which it is done.

this is our Church

Let us all remember: this is our Church, our community, and our spiritual home. Let’s care for it, celebrate in it, and grow closer to God within it.

I will never email or text you for money or financial assistance

Don’t Get Scammed

It has come to my attention that some of you have received messages, e-mails, or texts that appear to be from me, asking for money or financial assistance. I want to make it absolutely clear: I have never asked, and will never ask, any of you for money through calls, texts, or e-mails. If you receive any such message claiming to be from me, please do not respond. These are scammers attempting to misuse my name and trust.

Please stay vigilant and report any suspicious communications. If you’re unsure, feel free to contact me directly through a trusted method.

With lots of love and blessings.

Ever wanting to be faithful to your service,

— Fr. Sahayanathan Nathan

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,
