A Message from Father Nathan

ABCD 2026 Kickoff:

Together – Do Good.  Seek Peace.

The theme of the 2026 ABCD campaign – one of the most important fundraisers for the Archdiocese of Miami.

We will be launching ABCD this week. 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 will like 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 this. It’s our parish participation for the noble cause.


Archbishop’s Charities & Development Drive

Archbishop’s Letter

My dear Brothers and Sisters,

Life can be noisy and, at times, overwhelming. Yet in the quiet moments of prayer, a still, gentle voice speaks to us—a deep conviction that stirs within and calls us to look beyond ourselves. Each day, we’re surrounded by the clamor of the world—its demands, its distractions, its pressures—but even in the midst of it all, God calls us to pause, to listen, and to respond to the quiet prompting within us: to see and serve the needs of others.

Let us come together to bring light where there is darkness, peace where there is conflict, and love where there is need. There is great strength in unity—and when we are united in Christ, we become a powerful force for good in a world longing for hope and healing.

Together, we must do good and seek peace. Together starts with you.

By giving to the Archbishop’s Charities and Development Drive, the ABCD, you bring hope to those in greatest need. This is our Church, our mission—to serve with heart and compassion.

The ABCD lives out this mission every day: feeding the hungry, consoling the suffering, embracing the stranger, advocating for justice, and upholding the dignity of the poor with love. The work of our Church in South Florida, through the ABCD, is not merely charitable—it is profoundly sacramental, a visible expression of Christ’s love in the world.

As Pope Leo XIV said, “United hand in hand with God… let us go forward. The world needs His light.” Let us seek peace, do good,
and stand in the light of Christ.

Now is the time to come together. Your gift to the ABCD supports a mission that reflects the very heart of the Gospel.

Thank you for uniting with me to be One in Faith, One in Hope, and One in Charity. Your faith and generosity bring the Gospel to life. May God bless you and keep you in His peace.

With hope and gratitude,

Most Rev. Thomas G. Wenski
Archbishop Of Miami

I will be traveling to India

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.

With prayers and blessings, and ever at your service

— Fr. Sahayanathan Nathan
