A Message from Father Nathan

My dearest people closest to my heart!
God bless you and your generous heart

A New Year’s Prayer

Lord, You make all things new
You bring hope alive in our hearts
And cause our Spirits to be born again
Thank you for this new year
For all the potential it holds.
Come and kindle in us
A mighty flame
So that in our time, many will see the wonders of God
And live forever to praise Your glorious name.

Blessings for The Coming New Year

May the good Lord continue to bless you now and enter the New Year! As the year 2023 ends, we will start another year 2024, with the choicest blessing of God.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart

I want to thank you all from the bottom of my heart, I mean this. I wanted to thank the almighty for His blessing as always and for the wonderful life and ministry that He has bestowed upon me. I want to extend my gratitude to each one of you.

I look at the positive things in each person’s situation to relish and cherish my life. I was always told to give it up to the heart of Jesus and the caring of our Blessed Mother. This thought lingers in my mind and heart. Hence, in every situation, I feel the warmth and love of them guiding me.

As each of you continues to pass on to the great and to carry and hold positive things to learn from each occasion. As I always appreciate there is goodness and extremely magnanimous attitude in our parish. I really enjoy it.

Thank you for inspiring me every day! I want to thank every head of the various organizations. You are splendid. Let us continue to keep up the great spirit.

As we thank the Lord for the blessings and life in 2023, let us surrender ourselves and our parish, and all that we are going to do for the blessing of God.

As we know without Him, we cannot do anything. Hence, let us surrender ourselves so that He may guide us.

May this upcoming year 2024 be a year of blessing life, laughter, cheers, peace, and happiness in your life.

Please allow me as always pray for you all. My humble prayers and blessings will always be for you. May I also request you all to remember to pray for our Archbishop and those priests and faithful who help him that may God continue to bless him and He may direct and guide us into holiness?

As you know I will be away from the parish for a few weeks. I will be missing you but, remember you in my prayers. I believe everything should go smoothly. I will see you soon.

God bless you all. Happy New Year 2024 to you and to your family members

With lots of love and blessings,

Ever wanting to be faithful to your service,

— Fr. Sahayanathan Nathan

Thank You for My Birthday Celebration. Last week, before my birthday, my little niece, with all the innocence and concern of a child, went to her mother and said, “I feel bad for Uncle Father Nathan. Uncle is all alone.  There is no one to celebrate his birthday with him.” She said it because I am far away from my family home, and in her
