A Message from Father Nathan

My dearest people who are all close to my heart!
Lots of love, blessings, and prayers to you all.

Thank You for Your Continued Support of our church

I wanted to thank everyone for your continued support of the church. I really want to thank each and everyone for your financial support.

God bless you all! Thank you also to all those who are praying toward the completion of this project. Please continue to do so. I do understand that it’s a most trying of times now. Everyone has financial anxieties as everyone around the world has. I totally understand this.

As I shared with you, I am not good at asking for money from my people. So, to say I don’t want to do it as well. But in a way, I am pushed in doing so. Things need to be taken care of due to our location near the salt water and based on the age of our buildings. So it is pushed upon me to take care of it.

Thank you for your understanding.

Time To Build Our Community

As we know, the COVID situation is no longer a major concern. We need to resume back to our normal life. Since all of our winter parishioners have gone back, I am thinking of making good use of this time to build up the community activities.

To start with, every week we will have one group take charge of hosting our people for a light bite after each of the Masses in the parish hall.

I really want to have this because we then have a chance to socialize with each other. Secondly, for some of our people, it’s the only chance to meet others. Hence let us do it.

I am also intending to meet with each group/ministry in these next months so that we all do what’s good for the community.

Please pray for me that I may do everything good for the community and for the greater glory. God bless you all.

With lots of love and blessing.

Ever at your service.

—Fr. Sahayanathan Nathan

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.
