A Message from Father Nathan
My dearest people closest to my heart!
God bless you and your generous heart.
Thanksgiving
As we celebrate Thanksgiving, we lift our hearts in gratitude to the Lord
As we come together to celebrate Thanksgiving, we lift our hearts in gratitude to the Lord for His countless blessings. This special day reminds us that everything we have – our faith, our families, our friendships, our communities – is a precious gift from God.
Thanksgiving is a spiritual attitude of the heart
Thanksgiving is not just a day on the calendar, but a spiritual attitude of the heart. It is a moment to pause, reflect, and thank God for his abundant love and providence. True thanksgiving flows from recognizing God’s hand in every part of our lives – in times of joy and even in moments of trial. As Scripture says,
“Give thanks to the Lord, for He is good; His love endures forever” (Psalm 107.1).
We celebrate this day to acknowledge that all good things come from God. It is a time to say, “Thank you, Lord,” not only for what we have, but for who we are – His beloved children. We also remember those who may feel lonely, forgotten, or burdened assuring them that they are not alone. Our parish community stands with them, united in Christ’s love.
Appropriate activities on Thanksgiving include:
- Offering a prayer of gratitude at the table before our meal.
- Reaching out to someone who may seem alone and inviting them to share in the joy.
- Reflecting on the blessings of the year – the seen and unseen gifts of God.
- Participating in the Eucharist, the highest form of thanksgiving, where we give thanks for the saving love of Christ.
In a world that often focuses on what we lack, Thanksgiving reminds us to see what we have. Gratitude transforms our hearts, strengthens our faith, and fills our lives with peace.
When we give thanks, we make room for more blessings – because a thankful heart is a joyful heart.
Let this Thanksgiving be a celebration of love, unity and gratitude – thanking the Lord for one another and for the community that keeps us strong in faith.
May God bless you and your families with joy, peace and abundance this Thanksgiving.
Happy Thanksgiving!!
Ever wanting to be faithful to your service,
— Fr. Sahayanathan Nathan

Ash Wednesday | The Beginning of Lent
“Repent and believe in the Gospel” is the captivating sentence as we begin the holy season of Lent. For any Roman Catholic Church, the suffering the death of Christ is the mystery of our faith. Our faith revolves around this.

Thoughts on healing a broken heart… Thank you for your love and care. It’s the greatest and warming feeling that one is being loved, we hear that Christ longed for this acceptance from His people when he lived here in His time.
