A Message from Father Nathan
My dearest people closest to my heart!
God bless you and your generous heart.
A Few Thoughts
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
I am extremely delighted to see that there are lots of people coming to our church for Mass. There are days I do witness more than seven to eight different states represented and sometimes more than that!
May God bless them all, each and every one of them. My humble request to our community is that when you see somebody new, or a visitor to our parish, please give them a warm welcome. Everyone wants to be welcomed; everyone wants to feel special. Please give them a warm greeting.
Thank You to Our Ushers
I wanted to appreciate our wonderful ushers. May God bless them all. Let our parish be a welcoming parish. Let everyone who comes and visits here feel special and welcomed. Please render that to them.
Stay After Communion to Spend Time with our Lord
One more issue I want to address again. After receiving Communion, may I request all to be present here at Mass till the final blessing. I know we all plan to be present for the Masses. Why don’t we be present for the whole Mass? It really troubles me to see some leaving the church right after receiving Communion. It’s such an important time. The Lord Himself comes into our hearts. Please make good use of this time to talk to the Lord and pray to Him. If you do not know how to pray and want to pray, we have left in the pews the “prayer after Communion of St. Thomas Aquinas”, please recite that prayer. It’s a beautiful prayer. Please recite it in your mind. Please don’t leave the church right after Communion and discourage those who do so.
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. Little drops make the ocean. The participation of each and every one of us helps us reach our goal. Please do your part.
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.

It’s election mode time. Everything we say and do will be perceived with a political outlook. But at the same time as the Church, we need to be the voice of Christ. Mother Teresa on the “Great Destroyer of Peace – Abortion. The passage below is the voice of Mother Teresa at the National Prayer Breakfast in Washington D.C. on February 5, 1994. I believe her wisdom and concerns are so relevant today. Here you go.

On October 1, Catholics around the world honor the life of St. Thérèse of the Child Jesus, or St. Thérèse of Lisieux on her feast day. St. Thérèse was born January 2, 1873 in Alençon, France to pious parents, both of whom are scheduled to be canonized in October 2016. Her mother died when she was four, leaving her father and elder sisters to raise her.
