A Message from Father Nathan
My dearest people closest to my heart!
God bless you and your generous heart.
I will be visiting My family in 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.
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.

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.

Holy Days of Obligation | The Catechism of the Catholic Church
The Catechism of the Catholic Church explains holy days of obligation this way:
Family needs or important social services can legitimately excuse the obligation of Sunday rest (specified in the Fourth Commandment). The faithful should see that legitimate excuses do not lead to habits prejudicial to religion, family life, and health {CCC 2185}.
