Vol.1(Nov 15)

I am very happy to present you with our first parish bulletin “Malaha” which means MESSENGER.The archangel Ga-briel appeared to Mary and greeted her with the message “Do not be afraid, Mary; you have found favor with God; and now

you will conceive in your womb and bear a son, and you will name him Jesus. He will be great and will be called the Son of the Most High. The Lord God will give him the throne of his ancestor David, and he will reign over the house of Jacob forever; his kingdom there will be no end.” Luke 1:30-33We are called to be good messengers for this world, and then think of what would be the duty of a good messenger? A good messenger must act according to the will of the one who sent him.Parish is a big family and proper communication is an important element for its smooth functioning. This bulletin is a small attempt for that. I invite everybody’s cooperation and support for the bulletin. May I use this opportunity to thank all those who have worked for the bulletin? We are planning to publish this bulletin biweekly.

May God bless you abundantly!Fr. Saji Pinarkayil

It is with a sense of pride and gratefulness in God’s blessing that we look at how our parish is growing by leaps and bounds. Even in today’s digital age many have expressed a desire for a Parish bulletin in paper format, so we are glad to publish this first edition of what we hope will be a useful method to keep you all informed of the activities of our parish. As we draw to the end of our diocesan year of youth we would like to take this opportunity to invite our youth to come forward and take a more active role in running our parish.We invite your feedback on what additional information you would like in upcoming issues and in identifying any shortcomings in the current issue.
