New Year's Eve Fellowship Potluck

After New Year's Eve Mass, there will be a fellowship.  The food served will be on a potluck basis.  Every family is encouraged to bring something.  Kindly bring only finger food and please send it to Conference room 30 minutes before Mass.

Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ ,

Your family is called to be a holy family and if it doesn’t become a holy family (which is God’s plan), 

it’s not God’s fault.

Yes we don't come from perfect families, some broken and others have gone through painful 

encounters too.  But through your hardships with them, through your need to forgive and 

love them despite their defects,  the Lord is calling you to be perfected, With God’s help, 

your family can become holy, but you have to hunger for this and strive for this. Holiness is not 

easy, but it is possible with God’s help. And so the question is how badly do you want to be holy?

May the Holy Family bless all of you and turn your homes into a domestic Church filled with 

the presence of God and the love of the Holy Spirit.

God bless you.

Your Pastor,

Father Lionel

Dear Brothers and Sisters  in Christ,

Advent forces us to ask , " Who am i ? " Is it clear to those around us by our words and actions that we know who we are?

Is it clear that we believe that Jesus is the Lord?

Do we get caught up in disillusionment and fear and fail to experience the joy that is the gift of faith?

Fear not. The gift of Advent is that it helps us remember who we are.

God bless you and wishing all of you a Holy and Joyful Advent.

Your Pastor,

Fr Lionel
