From the Pastor's Desk:

My Dear Parishioners,

Gracious Father, we ask that You bless the harvest of every farmer. Let the seeds that have been planted grow into healthy crops. May the fields be filled with abundance and the barns be full. Reward the hard work and dedication of farmers with a plentiful harvest. Let their labor bring nourishment and blessing to communities everywhere, in Jesus’ name. Amen.

God Bless You,

Fr. George, MSFS
