A Message from Father Nathan

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

Happy New Year!!!

As we know we’re into the Christmas season. I hope and believe that you had a meaningful celebration of Christmas. I was praying for all.

May the good Lord continue to bless you now and enter the New Year! As the year 2022 ends, we will start another year 2023, with the choicest blessing of God.

Always Giving Thanks…

I want to thank you all from the bottom of my heart, I really mean this. I want to thank the almighty for His blessing as always and for the wonderful life and ministry that He has bestowed upon me. I want to extend my gratitude to each one of you.

Find the Positive

I look at the positive things in each person’s situation to relish and cherish my life. I was always told to give it up to the heart of Jesus and the caring of our Blessed Mother. This thought lingers in my mind and heart. Hence, in each and every situation, I feel their warmth and love of them guiding me. As each of every one of you continues to pass on to the great and to carry and hold positive things to learn from each and every occasion.

Appreciation

As I always appreciate there is a goodness and extremely magnanimous attitude in our parish. I do really enjoy it. Thank you for inspiring me every day! I want to thank each and every head of the various organizations. You are great and splendid. Let us continue to keep up the great spirit.

Surrender to God

As we thank the Lord for the blessing and life in 2022, let us surrender ourselves, ourselves our parish, and all that we are going to do for the blessing of God. As we know without Him, we cannot do anything. Hence, let us surrender ourselves so that He may guide us. May this upcoming year 2023 be a year of blessing life, laughter, cheer, peace, and happiness in your life.

Praying for All of You

Please allow me as always pray for you all. My humble prayers and blessing would always be for you. May I also request you all to remember to pray for our Archbishop and those priests and faithful who help him that may God continue to bless him and He may direct and guide us into holiness.

I will be Visiting Family for the Next Several Weeks

As you know, I will be away from the parish for a few weeks. I will miss you but will remember you in my prayers. I believe everything should go smoothly. Will see you soon. God bless you all.

Happy New Year 2023 to you and to your family members.

God bless you all.

With lots of love and blessing.

Ever wanting to be faithful to your service.

—Fr. Sahayanathan Nathan
