“Give thanks to the Lord, for He is good; His love endures forever.” — Psalm 118:1

Dear Brothers and Sisters,
As we enter this season of Thanksgiving, my heart overflows with gratitude for each of you. You are a blessing to our parish family—through your presence, your faith, your prayers, and your love for God. Every family, every individual, every child, every elder, every visitor, and every returning Catholic is important, valued, and welcomed here.

I want to assure you that I am here as your shepherd, walking with you in faith, joy, and hope. My prayer and my mission is to make our parish a place where all feel at home, where the lonely find friendship, the hurting find comfort, and the seeker finds Christ. Our parish is strongest when we stand united in Christ. Let us resist divisive thoughts, instead, let us build one another up in love, faith, and mission.

As St. Paul reminds us, “Let us pursue what leads to peace and to building up one another.” (Romans 14:19) Together, we can create a parish that truly welcomes everyone and reflects the love of Jesus. May your homes be filled with joy, peace, and gratitude this Thanksgiving, and may our parish continue to grow as a community of disciples who live, serve, and love as one family in Christ.
With prayerful gratitude and blessing,

Fr. Varghese Puthussery SAC
