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

Some of you were proposing to me to have a second collection for the Parish Project that we are undertaking. There are very many of you already supporting it. I thank each one of you for your love and support. No matter how big or small your amount, everything counts – an open heart is what is appreciated.

Second collection for the Parish Projects on the last weekend of July.

I am so happy that you feel that you need to be a part of it. Blessings! It’s going well so far and I know that you can see the differences already. May the good Lord continue to guide us. We will have a second collection on the last weekend of this month. There will be a pulpit announcement and we will stop with that. So whoever wants to contribute please do so on that final weekend.

Welcome Newcomers

I do witness these days lots of new faces visiting our parish. When you see someone new to our community please extend a warm welcome, please reach out to them. Let them feel that they are acknowledged and welcomed.

A Note of Appreciation for all Volunteers

On this note, I wanted to appreciate our ushers, for all that they do for our parish community. They all are doing a wonderful job. May God bless them. May they continue to keep up the good work as they have a new leader now.

Thank you too, to everyone who is a part of our many ministries.

Please let me know if there is anything for the good of the community for the betterment of our people. I am open to it. I will contemplate and decern about it and do the best I can.

Let me wrap up with the great wisdom of St. Paul:

“beloved, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is pleasing, whatever is commendable, if there is any excellence and if there is anything worth of praise, think abou these things. Keep on doing the things that you have learned and receive and heard and seen in me, and the good of peace will be with you”.

God bless you all.

With lots of love and blessing.

Ever wanting to be faithful to your service.

—Fr. Sahayanathan Nathan

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.
