A Note From
Rev. Joe Koyickal
Jubilee year Pilgrimage: Last week, over twenty of us made a pilgrimage to the Cathedral, a truly wonderful experience that was informative, inspiring, & spiritually uplifting. Fr. Bryan Alford, Rector of the Cathedral, guided us through a fascinating tour, highlighting the Cathedral’s history, its architectural beauty, & its spiritual meaning, while connecting it to important figures such as Bishop Griffin, the first Bishop of our diocese. After the tour, we prayed the Rosary together, & many had the opportunity for confession before the 5pm Mass, where I was blessed to con-celebrate. The entire group expressed joy, gratitude, & appreciation for this Jubilee Year experience. Personally, I was deeply enriched by it as well. Thank you to all who joined us; you made this pilgrimage a true blessing!
Centennial Capital Campaign: Over a year ago, every parish in our diocese was asked to participate in a Capital Campaign to help meet future needs & ensure the long-term sustainability & vitality of our Parishes. Each parish has been asked to raise one & a half times its annual income over the next 3–4 years. For the past year & a half, a dedicated team from our parishes has been prayerfully & thoughtfully preparing for this effort, identifying our future needs & priorities. Now, we are ready to launch the campaign officially, though not in the usual style of campaigns. In the coming weeks, you will receive a letter from me explaining the details & how you can take part. I warmly invite you to welcome this opportunity & join hands in building a secure & sustainable future for our parishes.
Holy Mass Explained: Beginning next week, I will be offering a series of catechesis on Holy Mass. Each week there will be a short reflection on a part of the Mass in the bulletin and I will highlight the theme briefly in my homilies as well. The goal is to deepen our understanding of the Mass, foster greater reverence for the Eucharist, & encourage active & meaningful participation. Understanding the Mass is a great way to grow in our love for the Eucharist. By renewing our love for the Mass, we not only enrich our own worship experience but also create a welcoming environment that draws others to our community of faith.
Blessings of Peace & Joy Always! Fr. Joe
