Dear CATCA Friends,

Warm greetings in the wonderful name of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ!

On behalf of our newly elected CATCA board members, I want to sincerely thank you for your trust in us to carry our organization forward. While we take up this responsibility with great joy, we request you for your prayers to give us the immense strength and spiritual guidance to continue lead our organization in the right direction as we are in now.

Within the next few days, we will kick off a board meeting to discuss our goals and a strategy for the next 2 years. We will also find out ways to seek input from all our members and try to implement majority of your ideas and suggestions. We will communicate the new plan to all the members soon.

We look forward to serving this community, strengthening and growing it in our Catholic Faith and Tamil Culture.

May God Bless CATCA and it's wonderful members!

Many Thanks,

Joseph
