Message from Fr. Antony
Greetings and peace in Christ. Having returned from Sri Lanka after the funeral and burial of my beloved mother, I would like to sincerely than you for your prayers, love, support, ad concern during this difficult time. Your kind words, prayer, messages, and remembrance of my mother have been a great source of comfort and strength to me and my family. We are deeply grateful for your thoughtfulness and spiritual support.
I kindly invite you to join me and my family for the Memorial Mass for my beloved mother on Monday, June 15, at 7:00 p.m. at St. Patrick’s Church and Shrine, Merlin. Your presence and prayers would be a great blessing to us as we thank God for her life, faith, and love. If you are unable to attend, I would be grateful if you would remember her in your prayers. May the Lord bless and reward you abundantly for your kindness and prayers. Be assured of my prayers for you and your family.
With gratitude in Christ, Fr. Antony CR
