Beloved Parishioners,

Happy feast of the Most Holy Trinity. Today we are celebrating the mystery of our faith. May the Blessings of the Trinity, the Father, Son and the Holy Spirit fill every corner of your house and bring joy, peace, and good health to all. This blessing unites us with the past, present, and future. We celebrate with joy, God the Father, the Creator, the Son, the savior and liberator and the Holy Spirit, the counselor and consoler.

Beloved Parishioners,

Happy Pentecost celebration even as I take my vacation far away from the United States, I still enjoy sharing reflections with you every Sunday to maintain that bond of love we share together. The theme of my reflection draws its central motif from the poetic imagery of the evocative hymn “Spirit of God in the Clear Running Water” by Miriam Therese Winter in 1965.

Beloved Parishioners,

In this week Pastor’s Corner, my reflection is focused on Eastertide. What we easily forget is that the Church designed the liturgical calendar to do one major thing, namely, to make Christians live the life of Christ through time. The liturgical year is theologically and spiritually structured to help the Church remember, celebrate, relive, and interiorize the mysteries of salvation.

Beloved Parishioners,

I share with you a reflection on Pope Leo XIV's visit to Africa. On his third ever international journey since his election as the supreme Pontiff, from 13 April to 23 April 2026, His Holiness Pope Leo XIV, completed a historic 11-day apostolic journey to Africa across four nations: Algeria, Cameroon, Angola, and Equatorial Guinea.

Beloved Parishioners,

In this week of the Pastor’s Corner, my reflection is on some types of movement that our faith journey may require. This movement may not be that easy, but taking the courageous step to make the journey is itself an act of faith. The readiness to move into an unknown destination trusting only in God’s providence forms the core of my reflection.

Beloved Parishioners,

My reflection is centered on prayer and how baptism makes us special people consecrated to God. Have you ever considered that your baptism was not just a ceremony, but a consecration—a setting apart for something sacred? Today I wish to draw our hearts to this powerful truth, namely: that we are a people consecrated to prayer. And this consecration began the day we were plunged into the waters of Baptism.

Beloved Parishioners,

May the joy and peace of the risen Lord inundate our hearts and lighten up our ways! Since Easter we have been confronted with all kinds of war cries from different parts of the world that at times some of us tend to lose hope in the message of Easter that the risen Christ has come to revive our hope that Jesus is alive.

Beloved Parishioners,

We have every reason to be joyful today because the tomb that contained the body of Jesus courtesy of the goodwill and generosity of that rich man, Joseph of Arimathea, is empty! The stone was rolled away, the grave clothes were neatly folded and left behind, and the tomb stood empty — not because someone had taken Jesus’ body, but because He is risen! Death has lost its sting!
