Welcome!

My Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ,

We are a Parish conscious of the fact that we are beloved disciples of Christ. We are conscious of His abundant blessings in our lives. We know that we are not journeying alone; He is always with us!

This faith in the God who does not abandon His own kept us through the peak of the pandemic and it continues to keep us going.

We are still in a period of uncertainty in connection with the pandemic, but we are certain that the same God is still with us. He continues to be alive and active with His loving presence in our lives as individuals, families and as a parish.

This loving presence of the Savior is what gives us joy in all circumstances. May we be inspired by it during this period of uncertainty to also make ourselves present in the lives of those who need us the most - the poor and vulnerable. St. Augustine reminds us that “when large numbers of people share their joy in common, the happiness of each is greater because each adds fuel to the other’s flame.”

May we contribute towards adding fuel to the flames of our brothers and sisters! May we continue to feel the loving presence of the Lord as individuals, as families and as a parish!

Because of her firm belief that the Lord was present in her life, our patron saint, Catherine of Alexandria, courageously protested the persecution of Christians under the Roman emperor Maxentius. May we continue to be inspired by her example!

St. Catherine of Alexandria, pray for us!

Fr. Nicholas Apetorgbor

An Act of Spiritual Communion.

O my Jesus, I believe with all my heart, with all my soul, with all my strength, and with all my being that You are truly present in the most blessed Sacrament of the Altar. Jesus, I love You above all things and persons, and I desire to receive You into my soul. Since I am unable now to receive You sacramentally, I ask to be united with You spiritually. I reach out to embrace You, knowing that You are always there, always coming back to me in the Eucharist, and I unite myself entirely to You. Come, then, and inhabit the tabernacle of my heart and make my body a temple for Your Holy Spirit; and then, through the Power of that Spirit, grant me the faith, the discernment, the patience and perseverance, and especially the humility to successfully resist desecrating this temple. I beg You to do this in Your Most Precious Name and for Your eternal glory. Amen.
