Harvest Message from the Parish Priest

Three times in a year you are to celebrate a festival to me. Celebrate the Festival of Unleavened Bread…No one is to appear before me empty handed (Exodus 23:14&15).

God demands of us to celebrate our harvest in recognition of His faithfulness in our lives. This is just right, that we render to God the thanks and praise that is His due. Only the living can give to God fitting thanks as an expression of good will to the Lord.

Over the past couple of months, through the harvest committee we have observed activities and offerings to give expression to God for all His good works. By fulfilling our harvest obligations we are able to render to God the thanks and praise that is His due.

We thank the harvest committee members for their commitment and generosity with their time and lot. We acknowledge the support of all parishioners who gave generously at various stages of the preparations. We also appreciate the support of all well-wishers, guests and supporters who have come to join us today in our thanksgiving service. May God richly bless us all.
