A Message from Father Nathan
My dearest people closest to my heart!
God bless you and your generous heart
the Solemnity of Sts. Peter and Paul
This week, we are going to celebrate the Solemnity of Sts. Peter and Paul, apostles.
the solid rock on which the Church is built.
Veneration of the two great Apostles, Peter and Paul, has its roots in the very foundations of the Church. They are the solid rock on which the Church is built. They are at the origin of her faith and will forever remain her protectors and her guides.
To them Rome owes her true greatness, for it was under God’s providential guidance that they were led to make Rome the capital of the empire, sanctified by their martyrdom, the center of the Christian world from which would radiate the preaching of the Gospel.
St. Peter & St Paul Martyred
St. Peter suffered martyrdom under Nero, in A.D. 66 or 67. He was buried on the hill of of the Vatican where recent excavations have revealed his tomb on the very site of the Basilica of St. Peter’s. St. Paul was beheaded in the Via Ostia on the spot where now stands the basilica bering his name.
Down the centuries Christian people in the thousands have gone on pilgrimages to the tombs of these Apostles. In the second and third centuries the Roman church already stood pre-eminent by reason of her apostolicity, the infallible truth of her teaching and her two great figures,
Sts. Peter and Paul. They are two great pillars of the church.

Celebrating my 21st Ordination
May 10
This week, I will celebrate my 21st Ordination anniversary. I DO NOT like any celebrations for me personally, but when the priesthood is celebrated, I really like it. It’s not the person but the priesthood of Christ…

Easter Sunday. The resurrection of Jesus Christ is the cornerstone of the Christian faith. Fulfilling God’s plan of redemption and the promise of eternal life.

Holy Doors Pilgrimage Trip Report. We are back, healthy and renewed. We had a great pilgrimage to Rome and Assisi. Everyone stayed healthy. The places we visited were more than I expected! I have realized that I have yet to learn an ocean of knowledge about our Catholic faith.

Become a Prayer Warrior. Time is Precious & With Age we Gain Time. There is no doubt that most of our parishioners are age 63 plus. Some may be quick to assume that because of our age, we cannot do a lot to contribute to the community and to society. It’s so unfortunate to think that.

I am in Rome on the Holy Doors Pilgrimage with a Group of Parishioners. Please keep us in your prayers. Preparations have begun for Holy Week and Easter. We have planned the liturgies and all the details they involve. I wish and pray that our people have a meaningful celebration of Holy Week and Easter.
