Following the celebration of Priests' Day last August 2, the San Antonio de Padua Parish โ Nazareth community joyfully honors our beloved shepherds today, the Memorial of St. John Mary Vianney, the patron saint of parish priests.
With hearts full of gratitude, we extend our sincerest appreciation to our ๐ฃ๐ฎ๐ฟ๐ถ๐๐ต ๐ฃ๐ฟ๐ถ๐ฒ๐๐, ๐ฅ๐ฒ๐. ๐๐ฟ. ๐ฅ๐ผ๐ฏ๐ฒ๐ฟ๐๐ผ "๐๐๐ป" ๐๐ฎ๐น๐๐ฎ๐บ๐ผ ๐๐ฟ., ๐ฆ๐ฆ๐๐ฉ, and our ๐ฃ๐ฎ๐ฟ๐ผ๐ฐ๐ต๐ถ๐ฎ๐น ๐ฉ๐ถ๐ฐ๐ฎ๐ฟ, ๐ฅ๐ฒ๐. ๐๐ฟ. ๐ฅ๐ผ๐ด๐ฒ๐ฟ ๐๐น๐บ๐ผ๐ป๐ถ๐ฎ, ๐ฆ๐ฆ๐๐ฉ, for your faithful witness, selfless service, and unwavering dedication to the spiritual life of our parish. Through your celebration of the Holy Eucharist, administration of the sacraments, and pastoral care, you continue to lead our community closer to Christ and inspire us to live our faith more deeply.
As we celebrate your priestly ministry, we also lift our prayers for an increase in priestly and religious vocations. May the Lord continue to call generous hearts to serve His Church, and may St. John Marie Vianney intercede for all priests, granting them strength, wisdom, perseverance, and abundant grace in their sacred vocation.
Thank you, Fathers, for your joyful "yes" to God's call.
