A Message from Father Nathan

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

Parish Improvement Update

Many of you came and shared with me your appreciation of the painting and other work we accomplished on the exterior of the church and adjacent buildings. I am so pleased that everyone said it looks great now! Thank you for your compliments.

Thank You for Your Financial Support

We could not have accomplished this without the support of my people. Very many supported this in ten thousand, two thousand, thousands, and fifty dollar donations….every amount helps everyone!

I felt was your support and contribution toward our church’s betterment. Thank you. May God bless all the donors. Soon, we will be taking up our surveillance camera project (CCTV). Please pray that everything will go well with this project.

Pray for Francisco our maintenance man, in his retirement

As many of you are aware our maintenance man Francisco had to leave his job due to health reasons. He was extremely good. When you ask him what we need and what has to be done, he really took care of it. He was a hard worker. I have witnessed in him, the passion for his commitment and went out of his way to take care of the church. He had gotten sick and from then on he wasn’t able to come back to work. We are saddened to hear that he needed to retire due to health reasons. Please pray for him. We are missing him.

I am looking and working on hiring someone that can take care of the cleanliness of the church and wish they would stay a long time.

Annual Thanksgiving Luncheon

On another note: we are also planning for the Annual Thanksgiving Luncheon. Please signup if you are interested to join in it. The pulpit announcement and sign-up sheets will be available soon at the back of the church. The Society of St. Vincent DePaul conference here at St. Gabriel will be coordinating and planning this blessed event.

God bless you all.

With lots of love and blessing.

Ever wanting to be faithful to your service.

—Fr. Sahayanathan Nathan

It’s election mode time. Everything we say and do will be perceived with a political outlook. But at the same time as the Church, we need to be the voice of Christ. Mother Teresa on the “Great Destroyer of Peace – Abortion. The passage below is the voice of Mother Teresa at the National Prayer Breakfast in Washington D.C. on February 5, 1994. I believe her wisdom and concerns are so relevant today. Here you go.

St. Thérèse was born January 2, 1873 in Alençon, France to pious parents, both of whom are scheduled to be canonized in October 2016. Her mother died when she was four, leaving her father and elder sisters to raise her.
