Dear Parishioners,

Hope summer is going well for you and for your families. The summer days leading up to the Labour Day weekend are a bit of a down time for us in the parish with schools closed and a number of meetings and activities suspended. But, summer time could be a busy time for many of us in our personal lives filled with social events, visits to family and friends, trips within and outside the country, etc. As we enjoy the beautiful warm sunny weather outside, let us always find a moment each day to give thanks to our gracious God for the gift of family, friends and of course for the summer days.

On a personal level, I want to thank our Parish community for all your wishes, gifts and prayers on my birthday. Fr. Sojan and I have completed one year at St. Rose of Lima Parish. We are very grateful for the wonderful journey we have had during this year, and we thank God for this large, vibrant community. As we continue this journey, we hope to know more and more parishioners and to help this community to grow spiritually.

It is a blessing for us to see a lot of people coming and joining us for our liturgical celebrations. As always, please invite your families and friends to come and join us for our celebrations, so that we can all be nourished spiritually. May the reminder of the summer time be refreshing for you.

Fr. Vijai, C.S.C. ~ Pastor
