Dear Parishioners,
Today’s Gospel reminds us that Advent is about more than our preparation for the Church’s celebration of Christ’s birth at Christmas. Advent is also about preparing ourselves for Christ’s return in glory at the end of time.
The season of Advent calls us to take this time to deepen our faith and be vigilant in our spiritual lives. The Church also reminds us during Advent, that Jesus still keeps on coming and he shall come again. He comes in His word, the sacraments, the needy and the vulnerable of our society. He shall come at the hour of our death, and He shall come in Glory at the end of time.
Like the disciples and the faithful in Mark’s community, we must also be watchful and be alert in our daily lives. Our faithfulness to God, through the good times as well as the difficult times, shows us to be ready for the coming of the Son of Man.
Pray for Peace!
God Bless you,

Dear Parishioners,
This weekend as we celebrate the Solemnity of Our Lord Jesus Christ the
King, we come to the end of the liturgical year. Jesus speaks about the end times and how he will separate the sheep from the goats. The message of this gospel is that we are called to love and serve others, especially those who are marginalized and in need.
We are reminded that our actions in this life have eternal consequences. As followers of Christ, we are called to love and serve others, especially the least among us. We are called to feed the hungry, give drink to the thirsty, welcome the stranger, clothe the naked, care for the sick, and visit the imprisoned.
Through our works of mercy, we show our love for Christ and our desire to serve him as our King .Let us renew our commitment to live as faithful disciples of Jesus Christ and to serve him with all our hearts in our everyday lives. We are called to be servants of others, just as Jesus was a servant to all.
Wishing everyone a blessed Thanksgiving Holiday
Pray for Peace!
God Bless you,

Dear Parishioners,
We are coming to the end of the liturgical year; the Gospel this weekend reminds us of the importance of being prepared for the second coming of Christ. Jesus tells the Parable of the Talents, where a master entrusts his servants with different amounts of talents before going on a journey. The first two servants invest the talents and double their money, while the third servant buries his talent in fear of losing it. He has risked nothing. When the master returns, he rewards the first two servants for their faithfulness, but punishes the third servant for doing nothing with what he was given.
The parable teaches us that we are all given unique gifts and talents by God, and that we are called to use them for the good of others and the glory of God. We are not called to bury our talents out of fear but to invest them in ways that will bear fruit and multiply.
We are reminded of the importance of being vigilant and prepared for the second coming of Christ. We do not know when this will happen, but we are called to live each day using our talents and gifts to build up the kingdom of God.
Let us pray for the grace to be faithful stewards of the gifts God has given us, and to always be prepared to meet him when he comes.
Pray for Peace!
God Bless you,

Dear Parishioners,
In Today’s Gospel we are reminded of the importance of being prepared for the coming of the Lord. Jesus tells the parable of the ten virgins, five of whom were wise and brought extra oil for their lamps, while the other five were foolish and did not. When the bridegroom arrived, the foolish virgins were not ready and were left outside the wedding feast. This parable teaches us that we must always be prepared for the Lord’s coming, as we do not know the day or the hour.
In our world today with all its distractions we can be easily lose sight of our faith and our relationship with God. However, we are called to be vigilant and to remain faithful, even in the midst of trials and difficulties. We must cultivate a spirit of prayer and watchfulness, always keeping our hearts and minds focused on God.
Pray for Peace!
God Bless you,

Dear Parishioners,
This weekend we reflect on the Gospel reading that reminds us of the importance of humility. Jesus teaches us that the greatest among us must be a servant, and that those who exalt themselves will be humbled.
He urges us to follow the path of humility, to put others before ourselves, and to serve one another with love and compassion.
In a world that often values power and status, Jesus’ message is a powerful reminder that true greatness comes from serving others. Let us heed his call to embrace humility and live a life of service to others.
Pray for Peace!
God Bless you,
Fr. Cyrus
