January 29, 2017.mp3 Fr. Gerry speaks on the Beatitudes Jesus presented in the Sermon on the Mount in today's Gospel. (Mt 5:1-12A) How do you see the Beatitudes? Do you see them as impossible ideals? As goals to be achieved? As wishful blessings on those who suffer? Or, as hallmarks of God's Kingdom when it arrives? They are "Be-Attitudes." If we want to BE sons & daughters of God, how different can our ATTITUDE toward the Gospel, toward Him, and toward life make our experience!

January 1, 2017.mp3 Fr. Gerry gives his first homily of the new year looking toward what 2017 will look like for us as a Parish. Are we really working at believing what we profess? How will my growing relationship with Christ make it different this year? Will my experience of Worship and the Eucharist look like something new this year? The Incarnation came about because God wanted to love us up close, in a real relationship with Him. Do I know Him as God with 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
