Pastor’s wishes for 2025-2026
Message from Fr. Modeste Digwou
Good Friday
The passion narratives are proclaimed in full so that all see vividly the love of Christ for each person. In light of this, the crimes during the Passion of Christ cannot be attributed, in either preaching or catechesis, indiscriminately to all Jews of that time, nor to Jews today. The Jewish people should not be referred to as though rejected or cursed, as if this view followed from Scripture. The Church ever keeps in mind that Jesus, his mother Mary, and the apostles all were Jewish. As the Church has always held, Christ freely suffered his passion and death because of the sins of all, that all might be saved. —USCCB
The Divine Mercy Novena

We believe family relationship is important and vow to do all we can to champion Christian family values.
