Beloved Parishioners,

Today being the Feast of the Holy Family my reflection is centered on the responsibility we have towards our next generation. The Bible records in Deuteronomy 6:4-5, a cornerstone teaching about the monotheistic essence of God to the Israelites by Moses.

Beloved Parishioners,

Last week I started a reflection on Our Lady and Opposition against her which I promised to conclude this week. As mentioned in the opening paragraphs I am motivated to share this reflection during this season of Advent when we await in joyful hope for the birth of Jesus by Our Blessed Mother Mary.

Beloved Parishioners,

As we begin our preparation for Christmas, which is centered on the mystery of Incarnation, God coming in human form to be one of us through the virgin’s birth. I wish to share my reflection on some opposition to Our Blessed Mother Mary.

Beloved Parishioners,

It is with delight that I welcome you to the Church’s new year as we begin the New Church’s liturgical year. We are now in Year C for the Sunday readings, and on that note, I say Happy New Year to you, all my beloved parishioners.

Beloved Parishioners,

In this week’s Pastor’s Corner, I reflect on the responsibilities we owe both our civil and religious leaders. This is very important as our prayers and goodwill go a long way to help them do the will of God for which they have been charged. From the beginning of the world, God himself showed that leadership has a key stake in the grand scheme of his creation.

Beloved Parishioners,

Last week I rounded off the reflection on All Saints and today I wish to reflect on All Souls which is celebrated the next day after All Saints. In my reflection on All Saints, it was pointed out that the Communion of the Saints occurs on the level of santi (holy people) on the three states of the Church namely, the Church Triumphant, the Church Militant, and the Church Penitent.

Beloved Parishioners,

Last week I started reflecting on the meaning of All Saints and what that means to us as Catholics who profess our belief in the Communion of Saints. I shared in the first part that we have seen the example of Blessed Carlo Acutis who was born in 1991 and who died in 2006 that will soon be canonized at a later date that will be made known to us by the Holy See this year.

Beloved Parishioners,

Today I share with you a reflection on All Saints and what the solemnity means for us as Catholics who confess I believe in the communion of Saints in our creed. Last week we celebrated the Solemnity of All Saints, otherwise known as All Hallows, a feast that reminds us that we are a part of a larger communion, which transcends time and space, connecting us to the saints in heaven.

Beloved Parishioners,

I wish to dedicate this week’s Pastor’s Corner on some of our parish financial needs. The highest of them all is the situation of the church air conditioner units of which I have spoken to you in the past. However, before I go into that, I would like to thank everyone for the significant increase that has been recorded in the weekly plate collection.

Beloved Parishioners,

In this week's Pastor’s Corner, I share with you the church’s document on social communication and social media. Next week I would share more on my pilgrimage to Holy Places visited during this period.

Beloved Parishioners,

I wish to conclude the reflection started last week in this Pastor’s Corner on the Rosary and St. Joseph. I hope the reflection helps you to enter into the habit of praying daily the rosary and honoring Saint Joseph, the husband of Mary and Foster Father of Jesus.

Beloved Parishioners,

In this week's Pastor’s Corner, I wish to dwell on the Rosary and Saint Joseph which is a month we specially dedicate to honoring Saint Joseph and praying the rosary. However, before going into that reflection, I wish to use this opportunity to express my grateful heart to you, all my beloved parishioners, for coming out in large numbers to honor our own beloved Deacon Patrick.

Beloved Parishioners,

This week we round off our reflection on the significance of the Liturgical Calendar and Feasts that we started last week. It is my hope that with this we would appreciate deeply the various liturgical feasts we have in the church. The write up is meant to help us understand what we do in the church and the various feasts we celebrate in our liturgies.
