A Message from Father Nathan
My dearest people closest to my heart!
God bless you and your generous heart.
A Few Thoughts
The Indian Dinner Was a Great Sucess
I want to express my appreciation to all of our people who were involved with the Indian Dinner here at the parish. There were lots of people who were a part of that. I wanted to thank each and every one of them God bless you all.
Great Attendance At Daily mass
I see wonderful attendance at the daily Masses and weekend Masses, and that makes me extremely happy. Welcome!
Warmly Welcome all our Visitors
May I request each of you to welcome our guests and visitors. Let everyone feel the warmth of our love. One little smile and a word of welcome can make a huge difference hence please do so.
Stay After Communion to Spend Time with our Lord
I did notice some of you rush out right after Communion. Dear friends, that is a precious time. Hence, please spare some time to dialogue in conversation with prayers to the Lord. To help you I have put in a prayer St. Thomas Aquinas after Communion; please recite the prayers which will help you greatly.
Join us Daily to Pray the Rosary
I did notice that lots of people pray the rosary right after the daily Mass, which is another good sign of Catholic pious activity. To me, these are spiritual warriors of the parish. It’s again a humble request to stay at church and pray the rosary. The Rosary is like a ladder that goes to Christ.
Prayerfully consider your Gift to ABCD
Finally, ABCD is in progress. We need to do better. I believe with your cooperation and involvement we can do better! Therefore, I encourage you to be a part of it, please. Little drops make the ocean. The participation of each and every one of us helps us reach our goal. Please do your part.
ABCD Kicks-off
Here is a letter from Archbishop Thomas G. Wenski.
My dear Brothers and Sisters, Hope is not always easy, especially in a broken world, yet our faith calls us to be agents of hope to unite, heal, and transform our world. In the most challenging times, when it is easy to lose heart, there is always an invitation to witness hope knowing that God never gives up on us.
In this Jubilee Year, we are all invited to serve as pilgrims of hope and develop a deeper connection with our faith, is not an attitude or opinion, but is a special gift from the Holy Spirit that is vital in our lives. It is what gives us confidence for the future, even when things may seem bleak. For us Catholics, Jesus is our hope. (Romans 5: 5)
The Archbishop’s Charities and Development Drive (ABCD) is one way we can bring hope to others and help them experience the transformative love of Christ-a love so powerful that it can heal the sick, convert hearts and change the course of someone’s life. Whether it is through advocacy, education, housing, or serving the poor – just to name a few – ABCD is bringing hope to those in need.
Please prayerfully consider opening your hearts in support of the ABCD and make a gift of hope today. A world without God is a world without hope, and a world without hope is a world without a future. We must unite to bring hope and the love of Christ to people – no matter who they are or where they live. Every gift makes a difference!
Be assured of my prayers for you and your loved ones. Thank you and God bless you. With hope and gratitude,
Most Reverend Thomas G. Wenski
Archbishop of Miami
We will have a second collection for the ABCD this weekend. Please be generous.
With lots of love and blessings.
Ever wanting to be faithful to your service,
— Fr. Sahayanathan Nathan

ABCD supports the many ministries of the Catholic Church in the three counties of our Archdiocese – these ministries represent concrete ways in which we perform what are called the spiritual and corporal works of mercy.
Through your support of the ABCD you help our Catholic Church here in South Florida reach out to those brothers and sisters Jesus speaks about in the Gospel.
ABCD is our Catholic Charities, our religious education programs, our Catholic schools.
ABCD is the support of our seminarians and priests.
ABCD is in our marriage preparation programs, and our lay ministries that form people to minister to the bereaved, the homebound.
ABCD exists because of the generosity of people like yourselves, people who in good times and in bad times keep their support of the Church on their list of major priorities.
Every gift makes a difference. Thank you and God bless you.
Past Messages from Father Nathan

At the Easter Vigil, the Exsultet is sung as Mass begins in darkness, illumined only by candles throughout the church. The Exsultet is a beautiful hymn of rejoicing in Christ’s triumph of sin and death.

Holy Week is also called “Passion Week” begins on Palm Sunday and continues to Easter Sunday. Holy Week provided an opportunity for all the faithful to reflect on their personal sinfulness and their need for Christ and His sacrifice on our behalf.

What is Holy Mass?
What we do and why do we do this?
Vatican II, bulletin 1324 said the following: – The Eucharist is “the source and summit of the Christian life.” 136 ‘the other sacraments and indeed all ecclesiastical ministries and works of the apostolate, are bound up with the Eucharist and are oriented towards it.
From The Desk Of Father Nathan | March 7, 2021
What is the Sacrament of Confession? Why do we need confession? What are the benefits of going to confession? The Sacrament of Confession is one of the most unique and beautiful aspects of Catholicism. Jesus Christ, in His abundant love and mercy, established the Sacrament of Confession so that we as sinners can obtain forgiveness for our sins and reconcile with God, our neighbors, and the Church.
