Pastor's Weekly Update: Sunday, February 27th

Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ, Thank you to everyone who has turned in your commitment cards for our “Proclaiming His Truth, Hope, and Glory” campaign! I am excited for the renewed commitment to our parish that you have expressed by your participation. For those still prayerfully considering how God is calling you to sacrificial generosity through our parish in the coming year, you can place your card in the offertory basket at Mass or bring it to the parish office. Bet

Sermon: A Place of Freedom (Sunday, February 27, 2022)

“The Lord became my protector. He brought me out to a place of freedom; he saved me because he delighted in me.” We stand today on the doorway of the holy season of Lent. Looking forward to this holy time, to this opportunity to draw near to the Lord, we ought to ask ourselves, “Why does Lent exist in the first place?” To this question we would likely respond, “To get us ready for Easter,” and we wouldn’t be wrong. A first grader told me last week, “To help us be holy,” which

Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ, The theme for this year’s renewal of our sacrificial generosity comes from the purpose of parish as reflected in our parish’s priority plan: “To be disciples and make disciples of Jesus Christ in His Church; to bring His hope, truth, and glory to our community.” Through this campaign, you are supporting our parish’s critical efforts to bring to life the Gospel around us: · The world need Hope: Sustaining a strong community of faith

Pastor's Weekly Message: Sunday, February 13th, 2022

Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ, We heard at Mass today about our annual renewal of our sacrificial giving commitments, which are so important for “Proclaiming His Hope, Love, and Glory.” Thank you for taking the time to consider prayerfully how God is calling you to be generous to His Church. You should receive more information in the mail this week about this important process. If you don’t, it likely means that you aren’t registered with our parish, so please go online

Sermon: Putting Out Into the Deep (Sunday, February 6th, 2022)

“What does this rabbi even know about fishing?” This question must have gone through Simon Peter’s head during the events of today’s Gospel. When we hear this miracle story – the incredible catch of fish, the nets that are in danger of tearing, so much fish that the boats are in danger of sinking – it’s easy to get caught up in what an incredible thing is happening, and we can lose sight of just how counter-intuitive and surprising Christ’s command to Peter really is. First,
