Dear CTK Family,
As we enter the month of November, the Church invites us to remember our departed loved ones, honor the saints, and reflect on the many blessings God has given us. The feasts of All Saints and All Souls remind us that our earthly journey is part of a much greater journey toward eternal life. Let us cherish the faith and good example of those who have gone before us and continue to remember them with love.
November is also a special time for thanksgiving. As we celebrate Thanksgiving here in the United States, let us pause to recognize God’s blessings in our lives—our families, our faith, our health, our friendships, and our parish community. Gratitude is not simply about saying “thank you”; it is about living with generous hearts and sharing our blessings with others.
As a parish family, let us continue to care for one another, reach out to those who are lonely or in need, and encourage our children and youth to grow in faith and gratitude. May our Knanaya tradition of strong family bonds, faith, and community spirit continue to guide us.
I am deeply grateful to all our parishioners, volunteers, and ministry members for your continued dedication and support. Your generosity and active participation make our parish a vibrant family of faith.
May this November renew our hope, deepen our gratitude, and strengthen our commitment to Christ and one another.
Wishing all our families a blessed November and a joyful Thanksgiving!
With prayers and blessings,
Fr. Bipy Mathew Tharayil
Pastor
