A Message from Father Nathan

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

Pontifical Good Friday Collection which helps Christians in the Holy Land.

Pope Francis has asked our Archdiocese to support the Pontifical Good Friday Collection which helps Christians in the Holy Land.

“Your support is essential to help the church minister in parishes, provide Catholic schools and religious education. It also helps to preserve the sacred shrines of Christianity, including Jerusalem, Bethlehem and Nazareth. The pandemic hit Christians in the Holy Land particularly hard. Most of them depend on pilgrimages for work. In these times of crisis, the Pontifical Good Friday collection is necessary to meet the basic needs of the children of God still living in this land and to maintain a Christian presence where Christ was born. When you contribute to this collection, you join with Catholics around the world in solidarity with the Chruch in the Holy Land”.

Please be generous!

Let us get ready for the Holy Week.

Let us focus on Christ and His passion.

My humble wishes to every one of you. I want to thank all those who toiled or sacrificed their time and talents for the smooth and meaningful celebration of the liturgy during Holy Lent.

God bless you for all that you do for the church and for God.

God bless you all.

With lots of love and blessing.

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.
