From The Pastor’s Desk

May Jesus Christ, the shepherd who cares for his flock, be with you!

Now that school has resumed for our children, faculty, administration, and support staff, we ask the Holy Spirit to guide and protect them. May this academic year be fruitful, productive, and enriching.

As always, I encourage you to be present at Mass on Sundays, even when you are away from our parish. I encourage you to invite others to worship with us.

While we may have our own prayer petitions and intentions, please remember in your prayers those countries affected by natural disasters, including our country, Nepal, Venezuela and Columbia. We need God’s presence and resources for these areas.

Our parish is gearing up for many parish activities. Support these activities any way you can.

One of the purposes of our life is to be mindful of others, to help others the best way we can, and to bring Jesus to others. This is also called Missionary Disciples. We reflect on the words given to us from our readings at today’s Mass and respond to them.

This leads me to introduce our Parish Theme for the year 2026-2027. Our theme is: Reflect-Renew-Respond. We will hear more about this theme as the year goes on.

May we recognize the Lord’s presence in each passage we hear, absorb the lessons in each reading, then put them into practice as best we can.

Peace and Blessings,
Msgr. Dr. Britto
