The concluded
HARVEST FESTIVAL is a successful celebration. As our theme proclaims:
“Let’s Celebrate: Let’s celebrate our community! Let’s celebrate our faith!” Indeed,
“WE” did it together!
“WE” are really the
“visible signs of God’s love!”“We” become visible signs of God’s laughter and smiles, of work and play, collaboration and hospitality.
“ WE” are visible signs of God’s community, family, parish and people! And, on behalf of the leadership of the parish, I cannot help but take this opportunity to express my litanies of gratitude, as the saying goes -
“GRATITUDE is the music of the human heart.”
