Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ,
As we celebrated on 7/26/26 the Feast of Saints Anne and Joachim, the parents of the Blessed Virgin Mary and the grandparents of Jesus, we give thanks for the gift of grandparents, parents, and all who pass on the faith to the next generation. Their quiet example reminds us that holiness often grows in the ordinary moments of family life—through prayer, love, patience, and trust in God. May their witness inspire us to strengthen our families and to share our faith with our children and grandchildren. Let us ask Saints Anne and Joachim to pray for all families in our parish, especially our grandparents, that they may continue to be a source of wisdom, love, and faith. “Train up a child in the way he should go; even when he is old he will not depart from it.” — Proverbs 22:6 May God bless you and your families.
With sincere appreciation and gratitude,
Fr. Paul Sankar

Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ,
I would like to express my heartfelt gratitude toeveryone who generously supported our Mission Sunday collection last weekend. Your prayers, kindness, and financial contributions help bring the Gospel to people around the world and support missionaries who serve in places of great need. Our family became Catholics because of the missionaries, who left everything, came to India to preach the Gospel of love. Your generosity is a beautiful witness to our faith and reminds us that we are one family in Christ, called to share His love with all nations. As Jesus reminds us, “Go therefore and make disciples of all nations.” (Matthew 28:19) May God bless you abundantly for your generous hearts and continue to strengthen our parish in faith, hope, and love.

Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ,
One of the most beautiful qualities of a disciple of Jesus is meekness. Meekness is not weakness; it is strength guided by humility, patience, and trust in God. Our Lord Himself said, “Blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit the earth” (Matthew 5:5). A meek heart seeks peace instead of conflict, serves instead of demands, and loves instead of judges. When we practice meekness in our families, workplaces, and parish, we become living witnesses of Christ’s love. Let us ask the Holy Spirit to help us grow in humility and gentleness each day, so that our words and actions may bring peace to others and give glory to God. May the Lord bless you and your family with His peaceand grace.
With sincere appreciation and gratitude,

Dear Friends in Christ,
As we celebrate Independence Day, we give thanks to God for the many blessings of freedom that we enjoy in our
nation. Freedom is a precious gift, but it also comes with responsibility. As Christians, we are called to use our
freedom to serve God, love our neighbors, and work for peace and justice in our communities.We pray for all those who have sacrificed to protect our freedoms. As we gather with family and friends, may we also take a
moment to thank God for the gift of faith, family, and country. Let us pray that our nation may always be guided
by wisdom, unity, and respect for the dignity of every person. “Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord” (Psalm
33:12). May God bless you and your loved ones, and may God continue to bless our nation.
With sincere appreciation and gratitude,
