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

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}.
