A Message from Father Nathan

My dearest people closest to my heart!
God bless you and your generous heart.

The Corpus Christi procession was a great success

This will now be an annual tradition

I wanted to take this time to appreciate all those who were involved with the Corpus Christi procession. This is the third year that we have done it. I want to make it a tradition in our parish. We will have it every year. I wanted to thank and appreciate those who are involved with this and those who participated in them. It was a bit sunny and humid but still you participated in it. May God bless you.

We prepare to celebrate our nation’s Independence Day

Give Thanks to God for our freedom

This week we are going to celebrate our nation’s Independence Day, which is one of the important days to each and everyone of us. As we celebrate Independence Day, we pause to thank the Lord Almighty for the gift of freedom and for this land that we call home—a nation built on the principles of liberty, justice, and unity.

We remember with gratitude our Founding Fathers, the brave patriots

We remember with deep gratitude our Founding Fathers, the brave patriots, and all the visionary leaders who have worked, sacrificed, and even laid down their lives for the good of this nation. Their courage and wisdom have blessed us with the freedoms we enjoy today – freedom to worship, to speak, to serve, and to live in dignity.

Let us never take these blessings for granted. Let this day be a reminder that true patriotism begins with gratitude – to God and to one another. May we stay united in love, rise above divisions, and work for a society where every person is valued and protected.

“Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord.”

– Psalm 33:12

Let us pray for our leaders, for peace in our land, and for hearts that continue to seek the good of all.

Happy Independence Day!!

With lots of love and blessings.

Ever wanting to be faithful to your service,

— Fr. Sahayanathan Nathan
