Dear Parishioners,

Greetings of peace and joy in the Lord!

The month of September 2025 is truly a month of grace and blessings for our Parish. On 5th September, we will celebrate the Feast of St. Mother Teresa of Kolkata, a shining example of love and compassion. Let us pray that her spirit of service inspires each one of us to reach out to the poor and needy around us.

Just a few days later, on 8th September, we will rejoice in the Feast of Our Lady of Vailankanni, our beloved Mother. The Novena, which began on 29th August, is a special time of prayer and intercession. I encourage all families to join these days of devotion and seek the blessings of our Heavenly Mother.

Another great moment of joy for our community will be on 21st September, when several of our youth and adults will receive the Sacrament of Confirmation. This is a powerful outpouring of the Holy Spirit upon them. Let us pray for these candidates that they may become strong witnesses of Christ in their daily lives. It will be an occasion for us to welcome Archbishop Elias Frank to our Parish as it will be his first official visit after being nominated as our Coadjutor Archbishop.

Finally, towards the end of the month, on 25th September, 62 of our parishioners will set out on a Pilgrimage to Goa to venerate the Relics of St. Francis Xavier. This pilgrimage is an opportunity for deep spiritual renewal, and we accompany them with our prayers for a safe and fruitful journey.

May this month be a time for all of us to grow closer to God, deepen our faith, and strengthen our bonds as one family in Christ.

God bless you all!

Yours sincerely in Christ,
Fr. EJ Antony
(Parish Priest)
