A Message from Father Nathan
I am traveling to India
My home parish, dedicated to St. Anthony of Padua, is celebrating its 50th anniversary.
I will be missing you for a weekend since I am flying to India. My home parish, dedicated to St. Anthony of Padua, is celebrating its 50th anniversary. It is a small community with about 350 families in total. Many have moved outside the village for their livelihood, but the faith of this parish has deeply shaped who I am today.
I am pleased to share that this is a very significant moment for the parish. From this small village, we have been blessed with 17 priests and 28 nuns. In addition, there are two deacons who will be ordained as priests next year. The parish is organizing a special gathering, inviting all the priests and nuns to come together for this occasion. It will be a time to thank Almighty God for all He has done in the life of the parish and for His constant presence among us.
Given the season, the weather is expected to be quite intense, around 120°F with high humidity.
The anniversary celebration will take place on the 13th of this month, and I will return the following weekend. Please keep me in your prayers for safe travels and good health.
On May 10, 2004, I was ordained as a priest.
I kindly ask for your prayers as I celebrate my ordination anniversary as well. The priesthood is a gift that the Lord, in His great love, has bestowed upon me, and it means a great deal to me.
As St. Paul says,
“But we hold this treasure in earthen vessels, that the surpassing power may be of God and not from us” (2 Cor 4:7).
Please pray that I may always remain faithful to the Lord and to His Holy Mother Church.
God bless you all.
With prayers and blessings, and ever at your service
— Fr. Sahayanathan Nathan
