Good morning to you all! Regarding our Diocesan Annual Appeal, we are above 100% of our goals. A big thanks and appreciation for your generous support. All money above goal comes back to our tax free for budget.

On this 13th Sunday, the readings show us that God wants nothing but life and goodness for us, if only we will let Him rescue us. The first reading explains that God desires life for us, not death. The second reading tells us that God desires abundance for all of his children.

Dear people of God,

Good morning to you all. This week we return to the liturgical season of Ordinary Time. This Sunday and next Sunday, however, are designated as solemnities, special days that call our attention to the central mysteries of our faith. Today, we celebrate the Solemnity of the Most Holy Trinity. This feast invites us to consider what we believe about God, who has revealed himself to us in the Trinity, one God in three Persons.

Dear people of God,

Good morning to you! Today we celebrate Pentecost Sunday. Pentecost, meaning "fifty," is the day that the Holy Spirit descended on Mary and the apostles in the form of tongues of fire, fifty days after Easter in the upper room in Jerusalem. This event also marks the beginning of the Church. Our First Reading of today speaks the first Pentecost. During this encounter with the Holy Spirit, the apostles and Mary felt a driving wind, there were tongues of fire on the heads of each of them and the Spirit allowed them to speak in different tongues proclaiming acts of God.

Dear People of God,

Happy Mother’s Day to all our beloved Mothers! On this day, let us remember and pray for our mothers both living and deceased who dedicated their lives for us.

On this 7th Sunday of Easter, we celebrate Christ’s Ascension into heaven. He has completed his mission by fulfilling his father’s will. So, as a good son, He has returned to render a full account of his work to his father. As Christ’s disciple, we rejoice because we celebrate the final victory of Jesus over Satan and this world. This is a sign of hope that we, too, shall overcome all the forces of sickness, poverty, humiliation, injustice, and oppression that try to subdue us in this world.

Dear people of God,

Good morning to you all! First of all, I express my sincere thanks to all those who volunteered with your equipment for cutting down of trees and cleaning them in and around the hill near the parking lot at our Fountain City.

This weekend, six students of parishes are going to receive Holy Communion for the first time. Let us keep them in our prayers, so they that may grow in faith and love of our mighty God.

Dear People of God,

Good morning to you all. We are still in the Pascal Season. Let the Risen Lord who appeared to Mary Magdalene, to the Apostles, to Emmaus disciples continue to be with us, walk with us and reveal himself to us with all his living presence and graceful blessings.

On this fifth Sunday of Easter, the readings emphasize the need to abide in Christ as a condition for producing fruits of kindness, mercy, charity, and holiness.
