December 31, 2017.mp3 Fr. Gerry reflects on celebrating The Holy Family, and what it means to be Holy — it means related to God. All families truly are Holy. Mary and Joseph were not spared from difficulties, hardships and fears though they were the parents of the Christ Child. But, they show us how to be in harmony & in communion with God; how to hear Him and be responsive to Him.

December 24, 2017.mp3 Fr. Gerry reflects on Mary's great calling and how she didn't know what great hardships she would face by saying yes to God's plan. He relates this to two common expressions of our day, "Things are not always how they appear to be." or "If I had only known, I would have done things differently."

December 17, 2017.mp3 Fr. Gerry reflects on the ministry of John the Baptist and how he heralded the coming of Jesus. Jesus never commanded we go to church. So, why do you come to church? Fr. Gerry invites everyone to send in your answer to that question.

December 10, 2017.mp3 Fr. Gerry asks us to remember these five words: Fellowship, Discipleship, Ministry, Evangelization, Worship. He plans to speak on these words again in the coming weeks. This Homily is helping us prepare for the coming of Christ — He who is like us in all things but sin. Only in the Grace of the Holy Spirit can begin to grasp this enormous event of God choosing to become one like us in our world so He could lead us to the Kingdom He has prepared for us.

What an honor it is to carry the wine, hosts, and offerings to the celebrant at Mass for consecration!
Any occasion can be a time to serve as a Gift Bearer: a birthday, an anniversary, or just a “happy day,” or maybe you would like to bring up the gifts on the memorial of a loved one.
You can bring the gifts up with family or friends, members of your small group or another ministry your involved in, a few youth group members or leaders, or ask that person you sit beside every Sunday to join you.
Please stop by the table in the foyer to sign-up! If you are not able to locate the sign-up sheet, please ask an usher or greeter for assistance. ... See MoreSee Less

JOIN US FOR STATIONS OF THE CROSS @ 6pm.
The Stations of the Cross depict 14 events in the Passion of Jesus Christ, beginning with Jesus being condemned to death and ending with His body being laid in a tomb. The pious practice of praying the Stations of the Cross originated in medieval Europe when pilgrims were unable to visit the Holy Land, so instead “visited” these Holy places through prayer.
St. Francis of Assisi, the founder of the Franciscan order, authored Stations of the Cross that popularized the devotion throughout the world. Today, you’ll find Stations of the Cross in almost every Catholic Church, particularly prayed on Lenten Fridays, but available throughout the year for meditation and reflection.
