Words from Pope Francis: “In the Eucharist, we in fact encounter the living Jesus and His strength, and through Him we enter into communion with our brothers and sisters in the faith: those who live with us here on earth and those who have gone before us into the next life, the unending life. This […]

From a homily by Pope Francis: “The Eucharist communicates the Lord’s love for us: a love so great that it nourishes us with Himself; a freely given love, always available to every person who hungers and needs to regenerate his own strength, To live the experience of faith means to allow oneself to be nourished […]

If you listen to the news regularly, it seems like our world is becoming more and more secularized and is losing sight of God. This doesn’t have to be. We can all do things to make people feel and experience the presence of Jesus in their lives. One of those ways is prayer. One very […]

I just want to express my thanks to all who made this year’s Homecoming Bazaar a success. We had beautiful weather before and during the Bazaar (Thanks Fr.Z.).

Along with the most important element – the Mass – the Church offers other spiritual, prayerful and reflective events, […]

Every once in a while someone will ask me what do you do all week. Or they may say, you only work one day a week. Most people don’t know what goes on in a parish on a daily basis. When people come to Church and see different decorations or that the Church is clean […]
