“I am so very happy to come and serve all of you at Our Lady of The Assumption Parish.,” he says. “We all know that we are the members of the same family and have the same goal, which is ‘Thy will be done on earth as it is in the heaven.’ With God’s generous help and our sincere cooperation with Him and with each other, I hope we can make our parish community a place of love, unity and joy. Thank you very much for your welcome.”
