October 29, 2017.mp3 Fr. Gerry focuses on today's Gospel of the two greatest commandments given by Jesus. First, Love God. Then, love your neighbor AS yourself (not before yourself).

October 15, 2017.mp3 Reflecting on the Gospel story of the Wedding Feast Matthew 22:1-14 Fr. Gerry reveals that the "wedding garment" is provided at the door. When we enter Mass, do we have an honest desire and openness to change — to allow the Lord to change me and open me to His abundance? It is up to each one of us! What am I willing or unwilling to let go of? Listen to the full Homily and pray about it this week. Then, see what happens next time you go to Mass!

October 1, 2017.mp3 Fr. Gerry reflects on the course of Readings and Gospels we have had over the past several weeks and how they build to today's Gospel MT 21:28-32.
