I take this opportunity to thank God and all of you, my beloved brothers and sisters, to celebrate my Priestly Silver Jubilee, on Sunday, July 25, 2021. I want to thank especially OLM Parish, Pakistani and Indian communities, representation from Maryland, Philadelphia, Queens, and Brooklyn. I am grateful to you for your prayers, best wishes, and generous gifts. I am thankful to you all for your support and contribution that have made my life extraordinarily beautiful and meaningful. I will never forget the blessings I have received from you, good people in my life. You are always in my prayers. I request you all to continue praying for me. I can recall that my relationship with Christ began at baptism and is strengthened by the Eucharist. There is a connection between Eucharist and the priesthood. I thank my Lord for my vocation as a priest to share the priesthood of Jesus Christ, enabling me to act in the person of Christ to confect the Eucharist. We all are blessed as no Christian community can be built up unless it has its basis and center in the celebration of the Most Holy Eucharist. Rev. Nasir G Paul
