Message from Fr. John Chrysostom Tibakunirwa, Parish Administrator
|
|
On Thursday last week we celebrated Thanksgiving, a great opportunity to relive with enthusiasm the good things God has given us and blessed our communities and families. It is only healthy to value deeply what we have experienced in our lives this year as we leap into the new year with carefully planned ways to be with God and one another. We begin Advent which also marks the beginning of the Liturgical Church Year. The Readings for today's liturgy calls us to the awareness of where we are in relationship to God's call, God's gifts and our response. We are invited to listen more deeply for His coming in our lives to teach us, to transform us, to guide us, inspire us and strengthen us.
