THE HOLY FAMILY OF JESUS, MARY & JOSEPH

FROM THE PASTOR’S DESK

 

                As we are on the threshold of a New York---2008---our hearts should be filled with hope and love, knowing that we are not alone, for God “Emmanuel” is with us.  I pray that this New Year will be a year filled with much Health and Happiness and God’s Special Blessing.  Together, let us pray that the Holy Family of Jesus, Mary and Joseph, whose feast we celebrate this weekend, will continue to bless us and our families today, tomorrow and throughout 2008!!
