Pastors Corner ~
WE ARE WITNESSES OF THE RISEN LORD The Risen Christ mandated His disciples that what they have seen and experienced in Christ is not just for personal gain. These were meant to be shared with the people of the world that God may be known and loved, and in knowing and loving Him, they may obtain eternal life. The resurrection of Jesus brings not only joy and salvation but also the responsibility of every believer to spread the news that God is at work for the salvation of humanity. We who believe and follow Jesus Christ are witnesses to His saving power not because we have seen him with our eyes but because we have experienced His love in our lives. WORK PARTY ONCE AGAIN, we are grateful to all those who participated in the Work Party on Saturday, April 21, 2012. This is not just about clean up and maintenance works in the parish but more on being a community showing love and concern for the Church. This is about the Good Stewardship of parishioners who know their responsibilities in keeping their church well maintained. This is about owning the truth that WE are the Church and we show it through our united efforts for the good of our parish.
