Dear Parishioners,

May you have a Happy Thanksgiving! A time to reflect on all the blessings and the graces we have received during this year and be grateful to the Lord for them. May your day be filled with gratitude, love, and delicious food!

Don’t forget to celebrate at the Eucharist. The word Eucharist means Thanksgiving. It is the Thanksgiving per excellence.

God bless you!

Fr. Gaston Giacinti
