November 20, 2016.mp3 This is the Feast of Christ the King, but Luke 23:35-43 is today's Gospel Reading. It's the completion of the Mission begun at the beginning of Luke's Gospel. This passage gives the perspectives of the bystanders, the soldiers, and the two thieves being crucified next to Jesus. So many just didn't understand what was really happening. Fr. Gerry helps us understand that it is not about extending this life. The one thief understood, and he asked Jesus to remember him. Jesus promised him paradise. Absolutely nobody is left out if they are willing to turn to Jesus and say, "Remember Me."

November 13, 2016.mp3 Fr. Gerry gives us more food for thought on LEADERSHIP. In Luke 21:5-19 Jesus is speaking to us about leadership in times of adversity, crisis or difficulty. We need to trust Jesus to give us "a wisdom in speaking that all your adversaries will be powerless to resist or refute." There is a much bigger picture than what we see today. Let us be open to receiving His gift of courage and wisdom. Anne Frank is a great example.

November 6, 2016.mp3 Fr. Gerry reflects on our word of the month, LEADERSHIP, in light of today's Gospel Luke 20:27-38. He invites us to do some self-reflection asking ourselves: What kind of leadership do I provide? Do people know what I believe by the way I live & work? How much of my life is tied up in peripheral things? — Jesus invites us to go deeper.

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.
