Very Rev. Oswald P. Pierre-Jules, Jr., S.S.J., Pastor

January 29, 2022
Dear beloved friends and families;
              I truly hope that you had a great week. Again, please allow me to extend my heartfelt thanks and gratitude for your unwavering love and support throughout my family’s painful experience. Yes, we felt the results of your fervent prayers and my whole family appreciated and cherished your support.
              Beloved, as we gather to celebrate the Eucharist as a Faith Community, let us give thanks to God for giving us the opportunity to be with one another. It is safe to say that we truly live and practice the theme of our parish. Indeed, we continue to walk by faith as a family, a parish that continues to value and cherish family, and a parish that enjoys fellowships with one another.
            My friends, please allow me to thank the members of the committee which gave us such a superb and fantastic concert. Wow! They worked very hard to give such a great concert. I am sure you would agree with me that we are very proud of them. I must confess that when I put together the committee, I really did not know what to expect. However, Saturday when I walked in the gymnasium, the performers were unbelievable.
               I personally thank all of you who came out to support your parish. Indeed, your presence and participation were highly appreciated and cherished. I truly hope that you had a great time; I know that I myself had a great time. Everyday, you continue to make me very proud of you, and you continue to show how much you love and are committed to your parish. For that, and as your Pastor, I will forever remain grateful. My friends, your Pastor is back! Let us continue together to build up our parish. Let us continue to to lift up each other. Let us continue to appreciate and cherish each other’s presence. More importantly, let us continue to pray everyday for each other and for our loved ones. As I often remind myself, I am a very blessed and fortunate priest to be able to minister to such a great and wonderful group of people, my beloved and dear parishioners.
             I wish you a very blessed, productive, successful and enjoyable week. May God’s blessings and grace be with you and your loved ones. May Jesus, our Savior and Lord continue to order your every step. Beloved, I love you dearly and without any reservation.
I remain yours truly and always;
Father Oswald Pierre Pierre-Jules, Jr., S.S.J. Your Pastor

         My Jesus, I believe in the the most Blessed Sacrament. 
         I love You above all things and I desire to receive You into my                soul.  Since I can not now receive You sacramentally, come at                least spiritually into my heart.  I embrace You as if You were                    already there, and unite myself wholly to You.  Never permit me            to be separated from You.  Amen

        I  suggested  all Catholics continue to make   their contributions                    to the Church as they would have at Mass.  If you participated in                    the envelope system, mail your check to your parish Church.  If                        you usually put cash in the collection, consider writing a check                      and sending it.  I would also like to suggest increasing your                              contribution.  After all, what do you have to  spending on?                                  Restaurants, bars, movie theaters, etc. are closed.  Our parishes                     still have to pay bills.
