Parish Census

Please fill out the parish data form available at the entrance doors and drop it back in the box at the door near the front driveway so that we can update the parish data. We really need to do a lot. Hence, we need your cooperation. Christmas is approaching.

Christmas Calendar

We will have the Christmas calendar available the weekend of December 21st. Please pick one up at the entrance of the doors.

Christmas Novena

We will have a Christmas Novena that starts on the 16th and goes onwards. Every day we will have that observance at 4:00 p.m., except on Saturday. Saturday, we will have it right after Mass. I would encourage you to join for the Novena, but in case you must leave right after the Mass, please be diligent and respectful of others who are praying there and leave the church in silence.

I will be leaving for India for a Month After New year’s Mass

I will be leaving for India right after the New Year’s Mass. In case any of you want to meet with me, please do so in the coming days. I will be gone for a month. Everything is set to go while I am gone. Priests are scheduled to celebrate the Masses, and all the sacraments will go as usual. THERE WILL NOT BE ANY CHANGE when I am gone. Everything will remain the same.

Five different priests will assist you while I am away. In case there is an emergency, please call the office, and they will be happy to take care of it.

Christmas Confessions

We will have confessions on the last two days of Advent, on the 22nd during the Novena, and on the 23rd right after the morning Mass until 10:00 a.m. Please make good use of the opportunity.

THERE WILL NOT BE ANY CONFESSIONS ON THE 24TH. I will be busy getting ready of the the vigil Mass and other related preparations, please DO NOT corner me at the last minute. Thank you.

With prayers and blessings and ever at your service,

— Fr. Sahayanathan Nathan
