A Message from Father Nathan

My dearest people closest to my heart!

God bless you and your generous heart.

Thank You for Wishes & Prayers on My Birthday

Thanks to each and every one of you for your wishes and prayers on my birthday. It was a great celebration! You all made it great! I would like to thank the Society of the St. Vincent DePaul Society for coordinating the celebration. They did a great job, as they always do

Pray Always

See that no one returns evil for evil; rather, always seek what is good [both] for each other and for all.

Rejoice always.

Pray without ceasing.

In all circumstances give thanks, for this is the will of God for you in Christ Jesus.

Do not quench the Spirit.

Do not despise prophetic utterances.

Test everything; retain what is good.

Refrain from every kind of evil.

–Thessalonians 5:16-18

Pray for our people

Let us remember and pray for our people, especially those who are sick in our parish. As we know, most of our people are retirees, and some of them are getting sick and being admitted to the hospital; please pray for them all. As we know we have started a ministry for the sick and the homebound, but still our prayers could add up strength in handling their sickness.

Pray for our nation

Let us pray for our nation too. As it’s the time of preparation for the elections, let us pray that all our public leaders may work together for the good of our people and nation, assisting our people that they may choose someone who would lead our Nation for the good of our people.

As we all know, we have our own affiliations toward a party. Let us, all of us remember that WE are THE NATION.

Each and every one of us is the nation. Hence, let us not be diviided just because of the affiliations that we have toward a party.

Let Your Faith in Jesus Christ Sustain you

My faith in Christ Jesus and my love for my church is more important than the affiliation that I have toward politics.

It should not be the other way around.

May God bless you all.

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,
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…
