French's Forest Catholic Parish Notices and News

Dear Parishioners, As we step into the New Year 2026, I extend to you and your families my heartfelt wishes for a happy, peaceful, and healthy year ahead. May this New Year be filled with God’s abundant blessings, renewed hope, and deep trust in His loving providence. Let us walk forward together with faith, kindness, and gratitude, supporting one another as a parish family and being signs of Christ’s love in our homes and in the wider community. I thank you sincerely for your prayers, faith, and generous support of our parish. May Mary, the Holy Mother of God, keep us under her loving care, and may the Lord grant us strength, good health, and joy throughout the year ahead. Happy and Blessed New Year 2026! With prayers and blessings, Fr. Satheesh Antony OSH, Parish Priest.

Holy Father, God of our yesterdays, our today, and tomorrows. We praise You for Your unequalled greatness. Thank You for the year behind us and for the year ahead. Help us in Your new year, Father, to fret less and laugh more. To teach others to love by loving them. Knowing, when Love came to the stable in Bethlehem, He came for us. So that Love could be with us, and we could know You. That we could share Love with others. Thank You for another new year and for new chances every day. We pray for peace, for light, and for hope, that we might spread them to others. Forgive us for falling short this past year. We leave the irreparable past in your hands,  and step out into the unknown new year knowing You will go with us. We accept Your gift of a new year and we rejoice in what’s ahead, depending on You to help us do exactly what You want. We ask this in Christ our Lord.   Amen
