A FAMILY PERSPECTIVE
Despite all our time saving gadgets, we still have less leisure and family time. To solve this, we created the myth of “Quality Time”. Don’t be fooled: Quality time is quantity time. Jesus counseled us today, we “cannot serve two masters” and expect to be happy. Dedicate time to your family. No one in their final hours regretted not spending more time at work.

Angelus
V. The Angel of the Lord declared unto Mary.
R. And she conceived of the Holy Spirit.
Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee; blessed art thou among women and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus. Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners, now and the hour of our death. Amen
V. Behold the handmaid of the Lord.
R. Be it done unto me according to Your word.
Hail Mary, etc…
V. And the Word was made flesh,
R. And dwelt among us.
Hail Mary, etc…
V. Pray for us, O holy Mother of God
R. That we may be made worthy of the promises of Christ.
Let us pray: Pour forth, we beseech You, O Lord, Your grace into our hearts; that, as we have known the incarnation of Christ, Your Son, by the message of an angel, so by His passion and cross, we may be brought to the glory of His resurrection,
through the same Christ, our Lord. Amen

This year as a part of mission support, our diocese has given an opportunity to the Little Flower Congregation (CST Fathers, Kerala, India) to make an appeal at our Parish. Rev. Fr. Binu Emmanuel CST of Little Flower
Congregation, who is working in our diocese as the Associate Rector of Basilica of the Co- Cathedral of the Sacred Heart, Charleston will celebrate holy mass and
speak at the Holy Mass on September 22, 2019 on behalf of the Mission work of religious order. The Second Collection is your opportunity to support
Samaritan home, Kerala, India, a care home for the orphans and destitute under the Little Flower
Congregation. Samaritan Home is a shelter home where we welcome the people who are abandoned by families
because of various reasons such as poverty and sickness. They are well cared in this home with food, clothes, accommodation, and medicines. Please be generous. Thank you all in advance and may God bless you.
