A Letter from Rev. Joseph K. Kalladan, Pastor


Sunday Bulletin - August 26, 2007


Dear Parishioner,


Some of you may have already seen our updated parish WEB PAGE: www.stthomasaquinas.info. It is exciting to see that a very dedicated team, under the able direction of the webmaster, Marta Alves, and the generous cooperation of Joanne Schmidt, associate webmaster, is committed to keep it updated with the current information of the parish committees, activities, ministries, devotions, etc. as well as the weekly bulletins. They have spent a great amount of time and energy to give a new look to our web page. St. Thomas Aquinas is deeply grateful to Marta and the team for their hard work. It needs to be noted that Ken Smith had done a great job of creating our web page a couple of years back. With his very busy job schedule, it was not possible for him to keep it updated. We thank Ken for the wonderful work he did and his continuing assistance with the technical support.

We all live in an age when high tech, especially mass media communication, has taken a quantum leap beyond any imagination of our ancestors. It is very important that St. Thomas Aquinas keeps apace, like most other churches, in the utilization of this modern means of communication. So much information is disseminated through them at minimum cost. When I was at St. Joseph Church, New Waverly, one of the new converts who had some expertise in the field, accepted the ministry of working on a parish web page and he did create a very beautiful one for that church. As pastor of St. Thomas Aquinas, it was one of my long cherished dreams to have a current web page that reflects our parish and its ministries so that easy information is available to people that we will never know or meet.

We must never forget that Jesus, before his physical departure from us, has commanded us to “proclaim and witness to the Good News of the Gospel”. This is a responsibility that He expects each of us to fulfill, utilizing whatever means that we have at our disposal. The question that we could all ask ourselves might be: “Is Jesus pleased with me in the way I live, proclaim, and witness to His Gospel?”

Let us pray for each other that we all may be better witnesses of Christ and the Good News he has entrusted to us.

With love,

Fr. K.K.
