Today is the 19th Sunday in Ordinary Time Year B, we reflect on God’s support, and the significance of Jesus as the bread of life. Today we celebrate Prison Ministry Sunday in the Archdiocese. On this occasion, we recall the sacrificial life of St. Maximillian Kolbe, the patron saint of Prison Ministry. May we be filled with the fire of love, and zeal to work selflessly, serving our society, especially those in prison.
We thank you for the love and blessings you poured on us during Vianney Sunday. We Parish Fathers are truly grateful and blessed with your goodness
