Get Ready to Celebrate Thanksgiving

Remembering all our blessings

In two weeks, we are going to celebrate Thanksgiving Day. The whole of our blessed nation, America, is getting ready for all the celebrations.

As we are all aware, Thanksgiving Day is a national holiday of our Blessed nation that originated to celebrate the harvest and other blessings of the past year.

We need to be thankful to God for so many blessings:

  • the blessing of our life
  • the blessing of our health
  • the blessing of our family
  • the blessing of our friends
  • the blessing of our wonderful nation
  • the blessing of our good environment,
  • the blessing of the church
  • the blessing of our faith

We come together to give thanks!

As we come together and celebrate Thanksgiving which is great. Thanksgiving has to be celebrated that way. It’s all about family and family coming together.

We are all family and need to care for each other

Our church is a family. We want to feel that everyone is THE MEMBER OF THIS FAITH FAMILY.

We want to instill that into our families In case for some reason any one of our people is home due to age or any other reason and feels lonely, it’s our church’s responsibility to make them feel that IT’S THEIR HOME. IT IS OUR HOME. Please bring your family and friends and let us all celebrate.

Let us reaffirm that we are all family. We care for everyone and hold each other as family.

With lots of love and blessings,

Ever wanting to be faithful to your service,

— Fr. Sahayanathan Nathan

A Tribute to my Mother
She loved God, the Church, and her priests.
“The greatest gift God can give to a family is a priestly or religious vocation. A vocation born in a family is God’s blessing to that family, a joy to the parish, and a grace to the whole community.” The quote above is often attributed to St. John Bosco, and I have always felt it speaks the truth about my own family.

The Gift of Time and Prayer.
If the secular world cannot come to Christ in prayer, why don’t we bring them to Christ through our prayers? They are weary and burdened, and they, too, need to find rest in Christ Jesus. Prayer honors God. It acknowledges His presence and His greatness. It exalts His power, trusts in His providence, seeks His help, and, above all, makes us humble.

The Eucharist: The Center of Our Lives. My dearest people, closest to my heart,
