From The Pastor’s Desk

May God’s grace, love, and mercy shower upon you today and every day!

With the month of October quickly coming to an end, we are reminded of what awaits us. November is the month to remember all our deceased loved ones and parishioners. It is also the month to acknowledge Black Catholic History and the contributions made to the Church, especially from Black Catholics. Next on the horizon are the November holidays. However, before we move into the next month, may we hold onto the month of October fondly and be grateful for the blessing we received.

Be mindful of supporting all the activities taking place in our parish. They are not only “Fun-Raisers”, but an opportunity for fellowship and fun.

Next Sunday, we remember all our deceased parishioners who passed away from November 2025 to present. We pray for their souls and comfort their family members.

Don’t forget to turn your clocks back one hour next Saturday evening.

Last Sunday, our readings reminded us to always give thanks and praise to God. Take a moment and acknowledge his presence in our life. Today, our readings encourage us to live the commandments, even to the point of loving our neighbors. God loves us unconditionally, he has given us all the truly important things we possess – life, forgiveness, redemption, and the promise of eternal life. As God has given of himself out of love, he calls us to demonstrate that same love to others. We are encouraged to imitate his love. At times it can be challenging, but Jesus gives us the grace and strength to do it.

Peace and Blessings,
Msgr. Dr. Britto
