My dearest people closest to my heart!
God bless you and your generous heart.

 

3 Important Topics

Healing mass – Sunday, November 3, at 4:00 PM

There have been lots of people coming to me requesting I have a Healing Mass for the sick. They believe that the sick will be healed and that having a special Mass will help them with healing. The Lord who healed the sick may heal us too because of our faith and trust. I do believe the same. Belief is the tool that opens up the heart of Jesus. Hence, we will have a Healing Mass on Sunday, November 3rd at 4:00 p.m. It’s a special Mass. Those of you who feel the healing touch of the Lord, please come. This Mass fulfills your Sunday obligation. We will pray the rosary, and within the Mass we will have the anointing of the sick along with the Eucharist. Welcome.

Welcome Back Seasonal Parishioners

I feel that some of our winter parishioners are starting to come. Let us extend them a warm welcome. It’s great that they will again be part of our parish for a few months. Let us make them feel a part of our community. Sometimes, a smile, or word of welcome, a hello would create sucha an impact in their lives. All it demands is an initiative from our side. Everyone longs for love and relationships, hence, why don’t we take the first step?

Prayers for Andrew Reid

As I have already told you Andrew Reid, our music director and choir director, was here in our parish for 30-some years. Now, as may of you know, his health is not good. His health issues mean that h e can no longer fulfill his role at the church. He is a great musician; I have great admiration for his music. I know very many of you like him too. But hereafter he won’t be at the parish.

We have to find someone to take his position. I am already working on this. Please pray that God will send someone who assists us to pray better through our singing and praising

With lots of love and blessings.

Ever wanting to be faithful to your service,

— Fr. Sahayanathan Nathan

Holy Doors Pilgrimage Trip Report. We are back, healthy and renewed. We had a great pilgrimage to Rome and Assisi. Everyone stayed healthy. The places we visited were more than I expected! I have realized that I have yet to learn an ocean of knowledge about our Catholic faith.

Become a Prayer Warrior. Time is Precious & With Age we Gain Time. There is no doubt that most of our parishioners are age 63 plus. Some may be quick to assume that because of our age, we cannot do a lot to contribute to the community and to society. It’s so unfortunate to think that.

The 40 days of Lent is a time of Prayer, Fasting and Almsgiving. We seek to follow Christ’s will more faithfully. “We recall the waters of baptism in which we were also baptized into Christ’s death, died to sin and evil, and began new life in Christ.” Pope Francis
