Special Mass Tri-Parish

Anniversary Memorial Masses Remembering Father Linh - September 19th and 20th

As we mark the first anniversary of the death of our beloved Father Linh, we pause with grateful hearts to remember his life and priestly ministry. His gentle spirit, humility, kindness, and love for God’s people touched the lives of many.

On this anniversary, let us give thanks for the gift of Father Linh’s life and continue to pray for the repose of his soul, and for his Mom and Dad & Family. May his example of faith, humility, and love inspire us to draw closer to Christ.

Eternal rest grant unto him, O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon him. May he rest in peace. Amen.

Father’s Reflection

Forgive as We Have Been Forgiven

September 13, 2026

In today’s Gospel, Peter asks Jesus how many times he must forgive someone who sins against him. Jesus answers, “Not seven times but seventy-seven times.” Through the parable of the unforgiving servant, Jesus reminds us that God’s mercy is far greater than anything we could ever earn or repay.
