Happy New Year! As we step in the new year, let us take a moment to appreciate the blessings and challenges of the past year. I’m happy to share with you both the achievements and the vibrant activities of our parish community.
Thank you for making all of this possible through your participation and support.
Our parish life this past year has been full of vibrant ministries. Our 'Feed the Hungry' program not only served over 2,000 meals but also provided essential grocery supplies to families in need each month. Our youth ministry expanded to include new outreach and service projects, such as the bi-monthly community clean-up days and the annual youth retreat, which saw record participation. Meanwhile, our adult faith groups have grown in both number and depth, introducing a series of workshops on spiritual growth and social justice, which have been enthusiastically received.
The new year brings new opportunities for growth and service. We are excited to launch an expanded environmental stewardship program that includes partnering with local organizations for tree planting and sustainability workshops. Additionally, we plan to enhance our family engagement events with more frequent family game nights and intergenerational socials.
As we embrace the new year, let us continue to live out our faith with joy and commitment.
“Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up.” (Galatians 6:9)
Your generous support and participation make all these efforts possible and deeply impactful. Your commitment to our community not only sustains but energizes our shared mission. Thank you for your steadfast faith and generosity.
