July 9, 2017.mp3 Fr. Gerry shares some reflection on the beautiful words by Jesus in today's Gospel, "Come to me, all you who labor and are burdened, and I will give you rest." He shares our burden with great love that we not carry it alone. But, we must let go. Come to Him! He will refresh you!

Fr. Patrick Noonan Funeral Homily.mp3 Listen to Fr. Gerry's homily reflecting on the life of his friend, Fr. Noonan (1/23/37~7/4/17). May he rest in the eternal peace of God's Heavenly Kingdom.
July 2, 2017.mp3 Fr. Gerry reflects on two specific ingredients of today's Gospel — The Cross and Hospitality — and how they are intimately connected. Our crosses aren't wooden, instead they come in many forms. Our relationship with Christ is taking up our crosses. Jesus tells us and shows us to embrace our cross, and he helps us carry it.
