Prayer to Saint Roch
(The Patron Saint for the
Epidemic Diseases)

 O Blessed St Roch,
Patron of the sick, Have pity on those
Who lie upon a bed of suffering.
Your power was so great
When you were in this world,
That by the sign of the Cross,
Many were healed of their diseases.
Now that you are in heaven,
Your power is not less. Offer, then, to God
Our sighs and tears.
And obtain for us that health we seek
Through Christ Our Lord      Amen.

Message from the Pastor


“The Light of Hope Has Come”
 
Wishing You A Blessed  Christmas! 
 
As we gather to celebrate the birth of Jesus, we are reminded of the profound truth that hope has entered our world.
 
Over 2,000 years ago, in a humble stable in Bethlehem, the Word became flesh and dwelt among us. God chose to enter our brokenness, not in grandeur but in simplicity, vulnerability, and love. In Jesus, we find Emmanuel—God with us.
 
Christmas is a time to rejoice because the light of Christ shines into the darkest corners of our lives. This light reminds us that no matter what we face—pain, loss, uncertainty, or fear—we are not alone. God’s love is steadfast and unchanging.
 
As we reflect on the manger scene, we see a message of hope for all:
• To the weary and burdened, Jesus offers rest.
• To the lonely, He brings companionship.
• To the grieving, He promises comfort.
• To the sinner, He extends forgiveness.
 
This Christmas, I encourage you to look to Christ as the source of your hope. The same God who placed a star in the sky to guide the wise men is still guiding us today. The same Savior who brought joy to shepherds in the fields offers joy to our hearts.
 
Let us carry this hope into the world. In our words and actions, let us be reflections of Christ’s light. Whether through a kind word, a helping hand, or a prayer for someone in need, we can be instruments of God’s love and grace.
 
As we celebrate the birth of Jesus, let us also renew our faith in His promise: “I am with you always, to the end of the age” (Matthew 28:20).
 
May the peace of Christ fill your hearts and homes this Christmas. And may His hope sustain you in the year to come.
 
Merry Christmas, and May God bless you abundantly!

Fr. Albin Roby

Almighty Father, I thank you for the gift of your son, Jesus Christ, who rose from the dead and redeemed humankind. Fill us with the fire of the Holy Spirit, that we may be faithful disciples and enthusiastic witnesses of our Catholic faith. Alleluia, Christ is risen! Amen.
