St. Nicholas' Visit to our Parish Family
Here is our bulletin for Dec 2, 2018.
Faith is a great gift and a very difficult one to come by. All of us have a unique way of discovering it. The surest way is through suffering, trials and tribulations of this life, which have a potential to reveal to us what really matters in this life and give us the real and true perspective of God.

Here is our bulletin for Nov 25, 2018.
Today we celebrate the feast of the Holy Great-Martyr Catherine.
She was the daughter of King Constus, and after the death of her father, she lived with her mother in Alexandria. Catherine was well-educated in philosophy, medicine, rhetoric, and logic, and became a Christian. When the emperor ordered people to offer sacrifices to idols, Catherine boldly denounced his errors. She was imprisoned and then ordered to be tortured upon a wheel, but the wheel was destroyed by an angel of God. She was then beheaded, and so received the crown of martyrdom around the year AD 310.
