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 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.

“The only thing we have to fear is fear itself,” said FDR. What are humans afraid of? In most cases, it’s suffering. Life, for many, can be described as one constant effort to avoid suffering (but it will come anyway). For the Christian, however, everything is different. We must not, must not fear suffering, because suffering is what makes us look more like Christ. ... See MoreSee Less

The Church honors the saints under several headings: priest, bishop, or religious, virgin, martyr, and so on. Those categories are easy to understand, but what about "doctor"? What does it mean to be a Doctor of the Church, and who decides what saints get that designation? ... See MoreSee Less

Something I’ve always wondered about!
"Many of Jesus' disciples who were listening said, 'This saying is hard; who can except it?'... As a result of this, many of his disciples returned to their former way of life and no longer accompanied him. Jesus then said to the twelve, 'Do you also want to leave?'" (This exchange happened right after Jesus told the large crowd that His body was true food and His blood is true drink.)
"Simon Peter answered him, 'Master, to whom shall we go? You have the words of eternal life.'" This should be our response to Christ's invitation as well. Please join us for Mass this morning at 8:00am and 10:30am. Come and receive him, Body and Blood, Soul and Divinity; The Real Presence of Jesus in the Eucharist. ... See MoreSee Less
