Message from the Pastor

Dear Friends in Christ,

Welcome to our Tri-parish, Ss. Mary & Joseph, Ss. Simon & Jude and St. Joseph, online home, a digital extension of our loving, caring and vibrant Catholic community. It is with great joy and open arms that we greet you here. Whether you're a long-standing member of our faith community or a newcomer seeking spiritual connection, we extend our warmest embrace to you.

Our tri-parish is more than a place of worship; it's a place of shared faith, fellowship, and family. We come together to celebrate the Eucharist, share the message of Christ, support one another through life's journey, and extend God's love to all through our various ministries and service opportunities.

As your pastor, I am humbled to serve these remarkable parish communities and be a part of your spiritual lives. This website is a portal to the heart of our parish, a place to discover information, inspiration, and opportunities to deepen your faith and engagement in our community. I am here to guide and walk alongside you on your spiritual journey. Explore our services, events, ministries, and the various ways we reach out to those in need. Don't hesitate to connect with us – whether you have questions, need guidance, or just want to say a hello!

May this online space mirror the warm and inclusive atmosphere you'll find when you visit us in person. Our tri-parish family is a welcoming, diverse, and caring group of individuals, and we hope you'll feel at home here.

We extend our blessings and prayers to you, and we look forward to welcoming you into our community, be it virtually or in person.


Yours in Christ's Love,

Fr. Joe Koyickal, SAC
