Hello, Everyone! I want to take some time to thank you with all my heart for your loving encouragement during my time away. It’s hard for me to leave…I’m very “work” oriented and the fact that so many of you encouraged me to go and celebrated that I took time away was a blessing. I thank you! […]
My Faith Journey to Holy Family Parish Ni Bula Vinaka!! (Greetings) Interesting questions were asked, what brought you here, Fr.? What makes you leave your beautiful home land of the Fiji Islands to be up here in the cold Grand Blanc, Michigan? I can boldly say it’s all God’s doing. If God did not Will […]
Greetings in Christ! Words can’t begin to describe how incredibly lucky we are to have Fr. Le here as our priest. He has been a blessing to me and all of us in many, many ways. As you may know, Fr. Le comes from Fiji and recently the islands have been hit by three back-to-back […]
Well…Lent is just a couple days away…can you believe it? This January/February stretch is moving like a freight train! This year Fr.

Greetings in Christ! All, I’m back! For those unaware, I was out for about ten days with a virus. It was not Covid, but one that is apparently going around. I was struggling with vertigo and fatigue. My doctor put me on bedrest and it helped a lot. I’m so grateful for your prayers and kindness while I was out. You […]
Join us this Sunday, January 17th, as Fr. Joe and various priests and deacons from Genesee County will be processing through Grand Blanc neighborhoods with the Holy Eucharist to unite us in our journey to follow Him and spread peace among us. The procession will stop and bless those along the route. If you walk […]
Greetings in Christ and Happy New Year!! Last weekend, we learned that over the last couple days most of the retired priests in our area have tested positive for Covid. We ask that you pray for these priests, that they will remain healthy. We also ask for your patience: our entire region is dependent on […]
