Dear Friends,

I wish you all a Happy and Prosperous New Year-2022. I specially thank all those who decorated the Cribs in all our three parishes. I also sincerely thank all those who sent me Christmas Cards.

This first Sunday of Christmas is dedicated to the Holy Family of Jesus, Mary and Joseph. There is no doubt that Jesus was born in a stable. He is God and could have been born with all the comforts that the world had to offer, but He chose to enter human history through a simple family.

Dear People of God,

Greetings of love and Peace to you all.

I wish you a very Merry Christmas. How are all in your family? I pray at the Altar of Christ for your happiness and good health. Many more blessings of God be with you all. In advance, I express my hearty thanks for all who are going to volunteering themselves for the Christmas decorations at our three churches.

Dear People of God,

“Rejoice in the Lord always, I shall say it again: rejoice!” (Phil 4:4). We have arrived at Gaudete (Rejoice) Sunday. Today’s readings take on a joyful tone as we continue our preparations for the feast of our Savior’s birth. We can rejoice because the Eternal Word became Man out of love for us. Jesus came down from heaven to earth out of love for us. He was scourged, and died on the Cross and have Risen again out of love for us. These are all reasons to rejoice!

Dear people of God,

God morning to you all. Advent is a one of the liturgical seasons that precedes and prepares for Christmas. It is a season of hope and of longing, of joyful expectation and of peaceful preparation. In this season, we are preparing our hearts for Jesus at Christmas.

Dear People of God,

Good morning dear Friends. We have arrived at the powerful season of Advent, a season to prepare with awe and gratitude for the Feast of the Incarnation of Jesus, born to us as Savior and Brother. The term Advent comes from two Latin words Ad-ventus or ad-venire, which simply means “to arrive” or “to come” respectively.” It marks the beginning of the Church’s liturgical calendar. It is a four-week period leading up to Christmas. Advent is a time when we expect mercy and liberation because our Lord, the King of the universe whose solemnity we celebrated last Sunday comes with power to reign over his people.

Dear People of God,

Good morning to you all. May our Christ the King Bless You all. On this last Sunday of Ordinary Time for the liturgical year, we celebrate the Feast of Christ the King. Pope Pius XI instituted this feast in 1925 when the world was experiencing a rise of secularism, materialism, and individualism and an increasing denial of Christ’s existence and authority.

Dear People of God,

Good morning to you all. Today is the 33rd Sunday. We are nearing the end of Church's Liturgical Year. Next Sunday is going to be Christ the King and then we enter into Advent. Today the readings direct our attention to the end of time. We are promised that if we are faithful, we shall be rewarded. We are promised that the Archangel Michael will be there helping us. We are told that the one great sacrifice for sins has been made and we must cling to the Lord. God will gather His elect and we must be ready.

Dear People of God,

Good morning to you all. On this 32nd Sunday of ordinary time, the readings speak about God’s generosity and our trust in Divine Providence of God.

In our First Reading, the prophet Elijah encounters a widow during a terrible famine. She is preparing to make one last meal for herself and her son before their supply of food runs out. Elijah, acting as God’s messenger, tells her not to be afraid and asks her to give him something to eat before preparing a meal for herself and her son.

Dear people of God,

May the Lord give you peace! Again, we are prayerfully beginning the diocesan annual appeal. You might have received or will be receiving a mailing about the diocesan annual appeal very soon. Please take some time to prayerfully respond to the appeal. As you know, our diocesan annual appeal is the funding source for all the diocesan offices and their activities like seminarians’ education & religious formation, Televised Mass, Mary of good help Hmong ministry and so on. You can access the complete list at: diolc.org/stewardship/appeal-portal.

Dear people of God,

Good morning to you all. I express my hearty thanks to all the members of Immaculate parish council under Debra & Roman Kujak, our PCCW ladies and other volunteers from St. Lawrence and St. Boniface, who helped for the meticulous planning and successful execution of our Fall Festival at our Immaculate Conception parish, Fountain City.

Dear People of God.

Good morning to you . I welcome you all to the Joint Fall Festival which is going to be this Sunday, October 17 at our Immaculate Conception Church.

On this 29th Sunday in Ordinary time, our readings convey how deeply God understands our weaknesses and sufferings, and how we are called to imitate Him through humility and service. Our First Reading reminds us that Jesus suffered for us — “through his suffering, my servant shall justify many, and their guilt he shall bear.” Out of love for us, He willingly submitted to this to fulfill His Father’s mission.

Dear People of God,

Good morning to you all. On this twenty-eight Sunday of ordinary time, we celebrate Christ the Wisdom and Word of God. Christ is sufficient and all things for us. We are rich in him because, he is alive and active in our hearts. We must be willing to give up everything in this life for the sake of the Lord Jesus.

Dear people of God,

Good morning to you all. On this 27th Sunday, we are invited to reflect on the significance and importance of the institutions of marriage and family through reading of today. Both are essential institutions founded on genuine love for the sustenance of humanity. Marriage plays the dual role. First, it serves the of affection between couples and, the sustenance of humanity through procreation.
