Dear Parishioners,
We are very happy to welcome Fr. Philip CMI who is appointed by Most Rev. Bishop Estévez as Parochial Vicar at Holy Faith from March 25 to May 31, 2021. As Fr. Emmanuel is going to India for his vacation on Tuesday April 6th, the presence and services of Fr. Philip will be very helpful to Holy Faith. We are very thankful to our dear Bishop and to Fr. Philip. We will give a brief bio about him in next week’s bulletin.
Please give a Hearty welcome to Father Philip CMI.
Fr. Emmanuel CMI
Pastor

As we prepare to gather for Mass either virtually or physically, reading the Sunday Scripture readings in advance will help prepare us in mind and heart to fully participate in the Mass. |

Lent is almost over but this retreat can be started at anytime and can be completed at your convenience, you can get the book and follow along with the audio version to help you meditate on the words and the messages. All the material is on our online COTM & Retreat Page.
