A Message from Father Nathan

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

Forgiveness & Family

This year we remembered and prayed for the 22nd anniversary of September 11, 2001, terror attacks on the World Trade Center and Pentagon at the Mass on Monday. There were many who came and prayed for our nation and for the healing on that day. But one of our faithful emailed me stating that it was not stressed on weekend Masses.

It looks like along with that faithful, a few felt the same. Even though it comes from one of the faithful or a few, I understand.

I love our nation and we all need to be grateful to God for all that we are and what we are blessed with. I extend my apologies.

It’s our faith family. Every one of you is so important to me and I am longing to take every one of your needs and emotions so seriously. I want everyone to be happy with the community.

May God bless our country and our community. I am so sorry again if it offended you in any way. May God heal you. My prayers.

Come Back to The Church

– Let your Life Center around God

Welcome back our winter Parishioners + Encourage Online Mass Viewers to come back to in-person worship

Knowing our parish and understanding our people, I always request and plead with you all to come to church.

I always stress that, especially on important holidays. I was very well appreciated on Independence Day, the way I had the liturgy. I assure you that IT WILL BE A TRADITION IN OUR PARISH.

I always stress that anything that we enjoy comes from the Lord. Hence, I request our people to start with Mass. Our life should circle around God and start with Mass.

 

God bless you all.

With lots of love and blessings,

Ever wanting to be faithful to your service,

— Fr. Sahayanathan Nathan

Every week as we profess our faith, we express… “I believe in the Holy Spirit, the Holy Catholic
Church and THE COMMUNION OF SAINTS.” The author of this letter to the Hebrews wrote. “Therefore since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us rid ourselves of every burden and sin that clings to us and persevere in running the race that lies before us while keeping our eyes fixed on Jesus, the leader and the perfecter of faith.” (12.1-2)
