PASTORAL LETTER
My Dear People of God,
Christ chose Apostles and sent them to
others. In turn, we have to do the
same. God could have done the work of
redemption in the world all by Himself, but He wants each one of us to
cooperate and do the work. Every
baptized Catholic has the mission to foster vocations in order to get men and
women, young and old, who are dedicated to God in the world. Therefore, again I request everybody to
foster vocations in our Diocese and to the whole world. We need men and women committed to serve God
and bring Christ into the very heart of society.
Let us encourage our young people to respond
to God’s call like those willing to serve our state in the military. This can be done if we pray for vocations of
priesthood, religious life, and diaconate.
These vocations spring from among one’s children, brothers and sisters,
relatives, friends, and acquaintances.
Let us always as a community of
May God bless all priests, missionaries who
have left their homeland, brothers and sisters, abundant graces to do His
will. I thank the
In a special way, we wish all our esteemed
Father’s “HAPPY FATHER’S DAY”. We appreciate your fatherly love shown to our
families and this church. May God give
you many blessings.
I would like to thank you for your prayers,
input, and especially the search committee in helping me to get a new
principal, a well-known public principal, administrator, counselor, and a good
outstanding Catholic. Mrs. Jane Sears,
welcome to our parish community to sow the seed of Catholic faith, always
needed in our parish.
May God bless you all,
Fr. Festus

PERPETUAL ADORATION: “Jesus healed ten
lepers. Only one came back to give Him
thanks for the miracle of a clean body.
Jesus said, "Were not all ten made whole? Where are the other nine?" Every day Jesus performs a much greater
miracle for us. The gift of the Holy
Eucharist makes us immortal with divine life.
Each communion will leave our soul everlastingly more glorious and
beautiful in Heaven. Despite the fact
that Jesus asks us to give thanks for this great gift by coming back during the
week and visiting Him in the Blessed Sacrament, very few do. Your sacrifice will make up for the
ingratitude of 'the other nine', and for the many who never think of visiting
Him at all." --from The Value of
Sacrifice. Direct all questions on
Adoration to Victor De Lapo, 335-1201.
