A Message from Father Nathan

My dearest people closest to my heart!

God bless you and your generous heart.

Happy New Year:

May the Lord bless you with renewed hope, deep peace, good health, and abundant grace in the year ahead.

May God grant you strength in challenges, joy in daily life, and His guiding light in all that you do.

I will be traveling to India

This week, I will be going back home to India for a few weeks. I will return at the end of this month. I have already made all the arrangements. Everything is set to go. If there is an emergency, please call the office. I will be keeping in touch with the office. Nothing changes. Everything will move as usual.

If there is anything extremely important to change, please let the office know about it. I will take care of it once I come back, or else everything will move as usual. I have lots of commitments while I am on my holiday. Usually, my holidays are very hectic.

I hope and pray that everything will go smoothly. I hope God will bless and protect me.

ABCD 2026

Secondly, at the end of this month, we will be launching ABCD. As we all know, it is one of the important fundraisers for the Archdiocese of Miami. This year, our target for our parish is $122,184. Last year, because of your collaboration and cooperation, we were able to achieve our target. I want to thank each and every one of you who participated in that endeavor.

It’s the Archdiocesan vital fundraiser, and of course, it is possible only if we, the parish units, actively participate. May I urge all of you to participate in this and extend your support? As I thank everyone who participated in the ABCD, I would also request others who have not participated to join our effort. It’s our parish participation for the noble cause.

Our Archbishop’s video and his letter eventually will be coming to us. I would like to thank Ms. Mary Lou Ruderman, the chair of the finance council, and Ms. Karen, the other representative at the financial council, for delivering their thoughts and appeal to the parishioners for the ABCD. They are wonderful assets to the parish. May God bless them.

From next week onward, we will be starting the Ordinary Season, another new season. May the Lord direct us into holiness.

With prayers and blessings, and ever at your service
