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.). All worked well together, chairpersons, booth/stands workers, set-up and clean-up crews, and volunteers. We had great support from you, our parishioners, as well as from the local […]

“You are always welcome at Our Lady of Victory Church” is on the banner in front of the Church. This is not there just for visitors and guests to our Church who may be staying in the area for the weekend. But it is also an invitation to all our parishioners to participate and take […]

Last Sunday we had our annual parish picnic in the new pavilion. I wish to thank Deacon Steve, his wife Karen, and their hard working crew of volunteers who made this picnic such a success and enjoyable by all. It was a beautiful day weather wise, and so many of you came out to enjoy […]

We just finished our Homecoming Bazaar and I am most grateful for all who worked so hard, long and willingly to […]

In today’s Gospel, we hear God say: “This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased; listen to Him.” Interesting words to be spoken. We listen a lot: to the radio, television, and people talking. But do we listen to God speak to us. I know you will say that you don’t hear […]

Our Scriptures today ask us what we may have many times asked ourselves: What do I really value in life? How diligently am I searching for it? Will I recognize it when I see it? What price am I willing to pay to obtain it? Today’s Gospel shows two people who are seeking something valuable […]
