Pastor's Corner

My dear brothers and sisters,

First, I would like to greet you all with the peace of our Lord Jesus Christ. May his graces
and blessings fill you life and bring you to full communion of love with him.
Please accept my heartfelt gratitude for your financial support of our parish, and in a
very special way for our last pledge drive for the Year 2012. Although we have not yet
reached 100% of our parishioners, it is so good to see that we are--- making an honest
effort to support our building fund.

Thank you very much for your active participation in the parish life, whether it be for the
Dinner Dance, the Pledge drive, the Food drive, the Toy drive, the Emmaus Retreats, the
Christmas Play, the Simbang Gabi or any other activities we have engaged in recently
or that we are about to stage in our community. It is amazing such a spirit of love,
generosity and brotherly love in the Lord. I am sure also that you have marked on your
Calendar other exciting activities such as the Carnival, the parish Lenten mission and
many more.

About our spiritual life, I would like to suggest the following theme: Called to fellowship
with Jesus (1Co 1:9). This most beautiful expression of St. Paul in his letter to the
Corinthians represents an amazing reality of our relationship with God, and the passage
is part of the First Sunday of Advent readings, at the beginning of this Liturgical year.
Called to Communion with God: This constitutes an essential part of the mystery of the
Incarnation: Jesus comes to us so that we can enter into communion with God our Father.
So in the year ahead, 2012, we will explore and deepen the meaning of that communion/
fellowship with Jesus our Savior, which also includes directly our prayer and sacramental
life.

Since Christmas is around the corner, I invite everyone to ‘prepare the way of the Lord’
by coming for the Parish Penance Service on this Monday, December 19th.

May God bless you abundantly,

Father Ernest
