A Special Christmas Prayer and Blessing

You have given so much through your lives, your faith, your sacrifices, your wisdom, your lived experiences, and your prayers. The Church and our parish continue to be strengthened by your enduring example and your constant intercession. May your presence remain a blessing to our community. May the Child born in Bethlehem surround you with His gentle love, grant you good health, comfort, and serenity, and keep you close to His Sacred Heart. Know that you are remembered with gratitude and affection, especially in our prayers during this holy season.

It is a privilege and blessing to be your Pastor

In this season of hope, joy, and peace, I am reminded of the immense privilege and blessing it is to serve as your pastor. I am deeply moved by the unwavering support and faith that each of you brings to our parish community.

Wishing you a blessed and grace-filled Christmas, and a New Year filled with God’s abiding peace.

With prayers and Christmas blessings, and ever at your service

— Fr. Sahayanathan Nathan
