Feast of Our Blessed Virgin Mother - 8th September 2024
Today’s world needs to impart and exchange information not only to the few masses but on a large scale to a wide range of people all over the world. I am delighted and happy to see that St. Anthony’s Church Karachi inaugurating our own Parish website so that the people across the globe are aware of everything happening in our Parish.
Pope Francis said that the internet, emails, chats, text messages and social networking sites are a gift from God and can be considered as forms of communication between human beings. The Parish and the Core Team of this Website will surely strive hard to keep you informed and update all the happenings in our Parish. This will open up broader horizons for many people and I firmly believe that this mode of communication is a gift from God which involves a great responsibility.
Social networking sites can facilitate relationships and promote the good of society. I would personally appeal to all my Parishioners to promote and help in building more closeness and spread the good news of Jesus through this Website.
Let us all feel free to express and share all that is true, good and beautiful. I am grateful and appreciate the core team and all the people for putting in efforts in contributing towards building up our Church website. I assure my priestly blessings upon each and every one of you for your dedication and hard work.
Through the intercession of our Patron St. Anthony, and blessings of the Almighty God, may we continue to spread the love and good news of Jesus across the world.
