A Message from Father Nathan
My dearest people closest to my heart!
God bless you and your generous heart.
With great joy and hope, we begin the holy season of Advent
a time of spiritual preparation for the coming of Our Lord Jesus Christ.
With great joy and hope, we begin the holy season of Advent, a time of spiritual preparation for the coming of Our Lord Jesus Christ.
Advent invites us to slow down to prepare our hearts for the true meaning of Christmas – The Birth of Jesus
Advent invites us to slow down, to listen to the voice of God, and to prepare our hearts for the true meaning of Christmas – the birth of our Savior, the light who shines in our darkness.
This sacred season calls each of us to renew our relationship with God, to strengthen our faith, and to rekindle the flame of hope in our hearts. In a world filled with noise, distraction, and busyness, Advent reminds us to pause, to reflect, and to make room for Christ to be born again – not only in Bethlehem, but within us.
Join us for an Advent Retreat on December 13 and 14.
As part of our spiritual journey, our parish will be holding a two-day Advent Retreat on December 13 and 14. These two days are very important for the life of our parish. They are days of grace – an opportunity to encounter the Lord in silence, prayer, and reflection. A retreat is not merely another parish event; it is a sacred time to step away from the noise of the world and listen to the gentle voice of God speaking to our hearts. It is a time of healing, forgiveness, and renewal—to allow the Lord to cleanse and prepare our hearts to welcome Him with joy at Christmas.
We warmly invite every parishioner, every family, and every member of our community to take part in this retreat. Let us come together as one parish family to pray, to listen, and to rediscover the peace and joy that only Christ can give. When we participate wholeheartedly, the Lord will fill our hearts with new strength, hope, and blessing.
Christmas Novena – Beginning December 16 –
Prayed every day at 4:00 p.m., and on Saturdays, it will take place immediately after the Vigil Mass.
Our preparation will continue with the Christmas Novena, beginning December 16th. The novena will be prayed every day at 4:00 p.m., and on Saturdays, it will take place immediately after the Vigil Mass. The Christmas Novena is one of the most beautiful devotions of the Chruch—nine days of prayer leading us to the cradle of Bethlehem.
Each day helps us meditate on the mystery of the incarnation and invites us to walk spiritually with Mary and Joseph as they prepare for the birth of Jesus. These nine days are not just prayers we recite, but moments of deep spiritual awakening, helping us to open our hearts fully to the coming of Christ. When we gather as as community to pray, our faith grows stronger, our unity deepens, and our hearts become more ready to receive the Lord with love and joy.
May this Advent be a season of grace, conversion, and joy for all of us.
May our parish shine as a beacon of faith and hope, ready to welcome the Lord into our midst. Let us journey together in prayer and unity as one family in Christ.
Prepare the way of the Lord, make straight His paths. (Mark 1:3)
Wishing you all a blessed Advent season filled with peace, reflection, and joyful expectation.
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,
As a second and third grader, I would sometimes go to church at 3:00 a.m. and sleep on the church steps until it was time to open the doors. That was simply part of my routine. I wanted to be an altar server…
