My dear parish family,

In today’s Gospel, Jesus asks an important question: “Who do you say that I am?” This question goes beyond mere knowledge of Him. It is a question that demands a personal response from us. There are many things we can know about Jesus; His teachings, His miracles, His life and His words. But faith begins when we move from knowing about Jesus to knowing Him personally.



Peter answers, “You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.” This confession changes everything. If Jesus is truly the Son of God, then He is not simply someone we admire; He is someone we follow, trust, and allow to transform our lives. This question is also presented to us each day: Who is Jesus in my life? Is He only someone I remember on Sunday, or is He truly my Lord, my Savior, my hope, and my guide? Our answer should not remain only on our lips. It should influence and guide the way we forgive, love, serve, pray, and treat others.

In addition, I take this opportunity to thank all those who came out to clean the parish premises on Saturday, August 15. Your selfless generosity continues to inspire our community, and I thank you immensely. May God richly bless you and your family, and may our Blessed Mother protect you with her motherly armor.

God bless you!

Fr. Henry
