Message of the Pastor

Believers and follower of Jesus are called to share our faith with our brothers and sisters among our family and friends. To renew our faith, we need to strengthen our unity, renew our parishes, engage our youth, form lay leaders, serve the most vulnerable and build vibrant churches. "With God, nothing is impossible" and with the Faith of a mustard seed, we can move mountains anywhere. Our Bishop, the Diocese of Burlington, together with all our priests, initiate this parish campaign for the entire diocese. Saint Mother Theresa of Culcutta stated, "What I can do, you cannot do. What you can do, I cannot do. Together, we can do something beautiful for God." Mother Theresa set an example with her life and now are asked to follow her example. In the Holy Catholic Church, with our Bishop and priests, let us come together in prayer and our sense of sharing as one Body in Christ in the name of Jesus who is sending us out to do Christ's mission

Thank you for your Support & Generosity

For thus says the LORD of hosts: In just a little while, I will shake the heavens and the earth, the sea and the dry land I will shake all the nations, so that the treasures of all the nations will come in.

And I will fill this house with glory—says the LORD of hosts. (Haggai 2:7)
