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.

Beloved Parishioners,

As we continue in the ordinary time of the year, which is the season we are in now, I wish to share some reflection with you on the significance of the Liturgical Calendar of the church.

Beloved Parishioners,

My reflection today is focused on the influence of biblical teaching on modern ethics. Teachings from the Bible have influenced various aspects of contemporary life, ranging from personal conduct to societal laws.

Beloved Parishioners,

Today I reflect with you on living the beatitudes. The Beatitudes given to us by Jesus Himself during the Sermon on the Mount (Matthew 5:3-12), offers us a practical blueprint for Christian living. We define them as fundamental principles of blessedness because they aid us to understand and attain true happiness and fulfillment in the Christian faith.

Beloved Parishioners,

I wish to conclude my reflections on Our Lord’s prayer which I started sharing with you last week. As we conclude this reflection today, we look at the practical implications and how this prayer should guide us in our daily life activities. The Lord’s prayer I would wish to reiterate is a simple prayer but encompasses all that we can do in prayer.

Beloved Parishioners,

Today we shall take a closer look at one of the foundational prayers of the Church, the “Our Father”. Certainly, one thing we perhaps may not have acknowledged is that the "Our Father", also known as the Lord’s Prayer, encompasses different special attributes which include a profound scriptural origin and a rich theological significance; it equally plays a significant role in our worship and indeed our personal spirituality.

Beloved Parishioners,

As we come to the end of the Gospel of John on Jesus’ discourse on the Eucharist today, I share another reflection on the incredible value of Jesus’ presence in the Eucharist and the Adoration of Our Lord before the Blessed Sacrament. I have shared these reflections for the past three weeks and I wish to continue to share it for us all to grasp the real importance of what happens when we come together to celebrate the Mass.

Beloved Parishioners,

Last week I mentioned that we would continue our reflection on the value of Eucharistic Adoration in today’s Pastor’s Corner. To that effect, it is very important to note that we are greatly encouraged in our parish to cultivate this strong devotion to the Eucharistic Adoration by making frequent use of our Chapel of perpetual adoration to encounter the Lord, be with Him and worship Him in a way that is personal and deeply meaningful.

Beloved Parishioners,

The gospel reading for the past two weeks, and the following weeks is centered on John Chapter 6 where Jesus says I am the Bread of Life and the Eucharist. In follow up to this theme I wish to share a reflection on Eucharistic Adoration which I have been encouraging all to make it as part of special devotion.

Beloved Parishioners,

For the past several weeks our reflections were focused on themes drawn from the Second Vatican Council documents and some Pope’s encyclicals. However, as we begin this month of August, I want to share some updates from the parish and school.
