Welcome Home — Twelfth Sunday in Ordinary Time
Twelfth Sunday in Ordinary TimeA Note from Fr. Jay Raju
Pastor-authored · verbatimDear Friends, Happy Father's Day! All of the readings speak about the important quality of being a father — courageous and fearless. It is an important attribute to masculinity — an expression of great love and sacrifice. Jesus says, 'fear no one'… meaning my providence will always be there for you. Let us continue cherishing the providence of God the Father! This weekend, we return to our main church after almost a year of renovation. Welcome back! I wish to acknowledge all who were part of the repair and renovation process of our beautiful parish and church campus. God Bless, Fr. Jay Raju
