Dear Parishioners,
Wishing you a joyous and holy Christmas season! As we celebrate the Solemnity of Christ’s birth, may the recollection of this momentous event bring peace and hope to your hearts. Two millennia ago, the Holy Family sought shelter in a humble stable, finding solace only among the animals in the cold and dark. May we, this year and every year to come, open our homes and hearts to welcome them.
Christ’s arrival on Earth conveyed a profound message of love, hope, joy, and peace. His command to love God above all things and our neighbours as ourselves remains timeless. Let us turn away from sin, prioritise God in our lives, and embrace reconciliation with one another in the love of Christ.
Heartfelt gratitude goes out to each one of you for supporting our parish. A special acknowledgement to the dedicated volunteers whose hard work sustains our community. To our staff, committed members of various ministries, and those working behind the scenes, we are truly grateful. Your contributions are remembered in the Masses, daily prayers, and sacrifices we offer to God. May His mercy and grace bless you abundantly.
“The people who walked in darkness have seen a great light” (Isaiah 9:1). Christ, the guiding light, illuminates our path, helping us discern good from evil. Always turn to Him with faith, hope, and charity, guiding friends and family toward Him. In Him, we find hope and salvation. May God bless you and your families with Peace, Joy, and Love this Christmas.
