Sermon: Doubting the Resurrection

St. Thomas does not deserve his bad reputation. After all, he is not the only Apostle to doubt the Lord’s Resurrection. St. Matthew tells us that, “the eleven disciples went to Galilee, to the mountain to which Jesus had directed them. And when they saw him they worshiped him; but some doubted” (Matt 28:16-17).

The Cross is not merely an in

From the Pastor

A lot has been happening here at St. John’s over the past few weeks! After a week of everything seeming to be up for grabs and never knowing when a new earth-shattering announcement was going to be made, we have settled into a “new normal” to which we are quickly adapting. We have been hard at work to transition as much of our parish’s life to a digital format as possible. First and foremost has been bringing Sunday Mass to you live via Facebook. Thanks to some great voluntee
