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!

Get Ready For Holy Week

I appreciate each of you for taking your Lenten season and your faith so seriously. I do witness a lot of confessions and Mass attendance. God bless you all!!

Let us get ready for the Holy Week.

Let us focus on Christ and His passion.

Let the cross of Jesus help us to handle our life.

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.

Ever wanting to be faithful to your service.

—Fr. Sahayanathan Nathan

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…

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.
