12th Sunday year A (Father's day )
Dear beloved Parishioners,
As we celebrate the 12th Sunday of Ordinary Time, Jesus tells us “Do not be afraid of those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul,” “Rather, be afraid of the one who can destroy both soul and body in Gehenna.”
Who is that? Some might say God. Others might say Satan. But perhaps, in a very real sense, it is ourselves. We are often our own worst enemies. Through our choices, our sins, and our refusal to trust God, we have the power to damage the very life God desires for us.
Yet the Good News is that Jesus does not leave us to ourselves. He offers us His grace, His mercy, and His strength. In Christ, we find everything we need to live fully, love generously, and one day share eternal joy with Him.
So let us not live in fear. Let us live in faith. For with Jesus by our side, we have nothing to fear and everything to hope for.

Summer Projects Update
We are pleased to share that the installation of the new lighting fixtures in the Parish Activity Center is progressing very well and is now approximately 80% complete. The transformation has been remarkable, creating a brighter, more welcoming, and energy-efficient space for our parish community.
If you have not had a chance to see the improvements, we invite you to stop by and experience the difference for yourself. We are excited about the renewed look and atmosphere these upgrades will bring to the many gatherings, meetings, and events hosted in the Activity Center.
Thank you for your continued support and patience as we work to enhance our parish facilities. We look forward to sharing more updates as this and other summer projects move toward completion.
