A Message from Father Nathan
My dearest people closest to my heart!
God bless you and your generous heart
The Savior is Born! Rejoice!
Born to Save us from the bondage of Sin
Merry Christmas!
God undertook the Incarnation of Jesus as True God and true man to save us from the bondage of sin.
Scriptures teach only one Incarnation, and its purpose is given in Jn 3:16:
“For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have eternal life”.
Today we call our celebration of the Incarnation of God in a Baby “Good News” because our Divine Savior has been born.
As our Savior Jesus liberated us from slavery to sin and atoned for our sins through suffering death on the cross, and Resurrection.
So every Christmas reminds us that we must do the same as our Savior. Christmas challenges us to accept Jesus in the manger as our saving God and personal Savior and to surrender our lives to him, allowing him to rule our hearts and lives every day in the New Year 2024.
May He radiate His Presence from within you as sharing love, unconditional forgiveness, humble service, a compassionate heart, and overflowing generosity. May the Holy Babe of Bethlehem bless you with health in your body and soul and grant you a peaceful and blessed New Year.
I assure you of my special prayers during my Christmas Holy Masses and every day in the New Year. I am sending prayers and hearty Christmas greetings to you.
May you receive God’s most special blessings this Christmas season! May you have the gift of faith, the blessing of hope, and the peace of His love at Christmas and always.
May the wonder of the first Christmas, the joy of God’s abundant blessings, and the peace of Jesus’ presence be with you always.
May your heart be lifted in praise this Christmas for the wonderful gift of Jesus and the joy He brings to our lives.
May all that is beautiful, and meaningful and brings you joy be yours this Christmas season full of wonderful surprises, treats, and nonstop laughter.
May the spirit of Christmas be with you year-round.
Merry Christmas!
I hope you receive one blessing after another this coming year. I send my humble prayers and wishes.
I leave after Masses on Christmas Day for a month at home in India.
Everything is set for St. Gabriel parish to function smoothly during my monthlong absence: priests, and different persons to take care of different tasks.
People know what to do.
If there is anything urgent, let Marie the parish secretary know about it I will keep in touch with her, and she will attend to that.
Let the smooth running of the parish continue. Hence, if you have an idea for better running of the parish, please hold on and wait until I come back.
For better administration, I don’t like surprises while I am away. Let us attend to them when I come back.
May God bless you all. Happy Christmas and a prosperous New Year to you.
With lots of love and blessings,
Ever wanting to be faithful to your service,
— Fr. Sahayanathan Nathan

Celebrating my 21st Ordination
May 10
This week, I will celebrate my 21st Ordination anniversary. I DO NOT like any celebrations for me personally, but when the priesthood is celebrated, I really like it. It’s not the person but the priesthood of Christ…

Easter Sunday. The resurrection of Jesus Christ is the cornerstone of the Christian faith. Fulfilling God’s plan of redemption and the promise of eternal life.

Holy Doors Pilgrimage Trip Report. We are back, healthy and renewed. We had a great pilgrimage to Rome and Assisi. Everyone stayed healthy. The places we visited were more than I expected! I have realized that I have yet to learn an ocean of knowledge about our Catholic faith.

Become a Prayer Warrior. Time is Precious & With Age we Gain Time. There is no doubt that most of our parishioners are age 63 plus. Some may be quick to assume that because of our age, we cannot do a lot to contribute to the community and to society. It’s so unfortunate to think that.

I am in Rome on the Holy Doors Pilgrimage with a Group of Parishioners. Please keep us in your prayers. Preparations have begun for Holy Week and Easter. We have planned the liturgies and all the details they involve. I wish and pray that our people have a meaningful celebration of Holy Week and Easter.
