Dear brothers and sisters,
Thank you very much for your cordial welcome. Let us try to follow the holy life and teachings of St. Brigid. The patroness saint of our church, St. Brigid invites us to remember the truth that ‘Christ dwells in every creature.’ She said, "I would like an abundance of peace. I would like full vessels of charity. I would like rich treasures of mercy. I would like cheerfulness to preside overall." That should be our goal. We are proud to be one in spirit, one in Jesus Christ. St. Brigid’s is our family. Let us try to love each other, share with each other, respect each other, correct each other, forgive each other, help each other, and encourage each other. As we are children of God, let us open the doors of our hearts for others. Come, let us work together. Come, let us proclaim Jesus together. Come, let us share our time and talents with others. Unity is our strength. Our continuous prayers, unity and cooperation will make wonders in our parish. Please keep me in your prayers.
Three Things the New Pastor Wants Most: unity, love and prayer. I am a simple, humble servant in the vineyard of the Lord, and I entrust myself to your prayers. May our mother Mary help us and intercede for us always.
With prayers and love,
Fr. Shibil John Pariyathupadavil
