Happy Father's Day


     "He who fears God honors his father...For the father's blessing gives a family firm roots.  [Therefore], my Son, take care of your father when he is old; grieve him not as long as he lives.  Even if his mind fails, be considerate with him--for kindness to a father will not be forgotten."  (Sirach 3:7a, 9a, 12...15)

     To all our fathers, grandfathers, great-grandfathers of Sts. Charles, Michael and Barbara; to those who act like fathers in our lives and the many other fathers who worship with us at our parishes, I say:  Happy Father's Day celebration.  May God bless you with good health of mind and body as you discharge your responsibilities as fathers in accordance with your responses to the divine call to fatherhood.  May your faithfulness to witnessing God's love in words and deeds  irrespective of challenges shine out like light to lead us all to an authentic Christian family life.   With your perseverance, commitment to fatherly duties and services; the power of God's love bears fruits through your faith.  

     We also remember in a special way our departed fathers, praying that the Lord who called them from this life may grant them eternal rest in heaven.  Again;  Happy Father's Day!    Fr. Oliver Nwachukwu, Ph.D.

The Most Holy Trinity - June 15, 2025


The first reading and responsorial psalm extol the wonders of God's creation, from the heavens to the earth, from the human race, to the beasts of the field, to the fishes of the sea.  Saint Paul tells the Romans that through the Holy Spirit, God's love has been poured into our hearts.  The Holy Spirit, Jesus tells his disciples in the Gospel glorifies the Son as the Son glorifies the Father.  Through the Love of God and the wonders of creation, may the Holy Spirit guide us to the Son and the Father.
