St. Paul Chong Hasang Bulletin

Today is the 27th Sunday in Ordinary Time. God created us as man and woman and brought us together to form a family, setting it as a principle to harmonize everything in love.
Let’s ask God, our Creator, to help us not to separate what He has united.

On Sunday, September 29, our church celebrated Father Michael’s Feast Day. The CCD and YG PTO presented flowers and a small gift as a token of appreciation for Father Michael's dedicated service. During his heartfelt thank-you speech, Father Michael shared a touching analogy, comparing each of us to an island.
He emphasized the importance of visiting one another’s islands, not only to build stronger relationships but also to understand the unique stories and experiences that shape our lives.
His words reminded us that, while we each have our own journey, it’s through connection and community that we truly grow.

Thank you, Father Michael, for all your inspiring homilies, love, and compassion!

Every year, the Catholic Church designates the Sunday before the last in October as "Mission Sunday" to remind us of our role in supporting the Church’s mission work around the world. It’s a chance to raise awareness and offer help to missionaries and churches in areas that need it most.

We’re asking for your prayers and contributions to support the dedicated missionaries spreading the message of Jesus, and to assist churches in mission territories that need extra help.
Your generosity will make a big difference.
