PASTOR’S MESSAGE

THE BLESSINGS

I knelt to pray when day was done And prayed, “O Lord, bless everyone, Lift from each saddened heart the pain And let the sick be well again.” And then I woke another day And carelessly went on my way, The whole day long I did not try To wipe a tear from any eye. I did not try to share the load Of any brother on the road. I did not even go to see The sick man just next door to me. Yet once again when day was done I prayed, “O Lord, bless everyone.” But as I prayed, into my ear There came a voice that whispered clear “Pause now, my son, before you pray. Whom have you tried to bless today? God sweetest blessing always go By hands that serve him here below.” And the I hid my face and cried, Forgive me God, I have not tried, But let me live another day And I will live the way I pray.”

From July 15th to August 15th, I will be on holidays

visiting my family members back in India. I will be travelling with all my parishioners in spirit and prayers. Have a Wonderful Blessed Summer.

A THANK YOU to the CHILDREN’S LITURGY TEAM

It operates on a consensual basis through prayer, discussion and by seeking expert advice when required. Recommendations, suggestions and concerns are brought to Council through the standing committee structure. The Council works closely with the Finance Council on matters of finance and policy, as well as the Pastoral Tem on issues such as long term development and parish policies.
