Over the past several weeks, we as a parish have been reflecting on a simple but important question: What does it mean to be a parishioner?

Everything we have is a gift from God. Our lives, our families, our talents, our work—none of these come from us alone. They are entrusted to us by a loving and generous Father. When we begin to see our lives in this way, as a gift rather than a possession, it changes how we respond. Gratitude becomes the foundation of everything we do.

From time to time, I am asked, “Is it okay to be registered at two parishes?” My answer is simple: no. We are called to commit ourselves fully and completely to one parish—the one we call home. This is not about competition between parishes, but about belonging.

My prayer is that each of us recognizes the gift that our parish is and that we grow ever more united in our commitment to it. Taking ownership of our parish matters. You can count on me to be the best spiritual father I can be. Can I count on you to help provide an environment that facilitates and encounter with Jesus Christ?
