A Message From Fr. Jose – 4th January

Posted on Jan 3, 2026Jan 3, 2026 by St Simon Stock Parish Office

Fr. Jose – Parish Priest

Dear family members and friends: Happy New Year! We have already entered the New Year 2026. We pray that this year may be one with abundant blessings from the Lord. What is the greatest blessing that we can have? The Communion Antiphon taken from today’s Gospel reminds us: To all who would accept him, he gave the power to become children of God. To become children of God means to become inheritors of the grace and glory of God. In Jesus there is fullness of grace, truth and glory. Let this new year be a time to follow the true light and life. We are again reminded that all things were made in him, the Word and let that Word be the guide for our life. Amen.
