Fr. Hien's Weekly Letter 02/06/2022

My Dear Parishioners,
     Are you ready for God’s blessings through the intercession of St. Blaise, bishop and martyr?  Yes, this Thursday, February 3rd is his feast day.  He is known for the healing of throats with diseases.  So, if you are interested, please attend this special Mass on Thursday at 8am or one of the Masses this weekend.  We will pray over you with a blessed candle through the intercession of St. Blaise immediately after the final blessing, during the exit song.  After the blessing, you are welcome to depart.  Please stay healthy and never give up loving and praying for one another, especially for those who are sick mentally, physically, and spiritually.
     Thank you to the many people who attended our Vietnamese New Year Mass on Tuesday.  It was a beautiful celebration with much Vietnamese culture such as dragon dances, lucky money in the red envelopes, traditional Vietnamese New Year food and music, etc...  I was so happy to see many parishioners of other nationalities at Mass and the reception dinner.  Thank you everyone, especially to those who donated toward the fixing of our church’s roof.  This tells me that we love our All Saints church and family dearly.  We are all brothers and sisters in Christ, and God loves us all.  Thank you and I love you all, Fr. Hien
