SIXTH SUNDAY OF EASTER 2017
Dear Church Family, I’ve been resting in the Sacred Word this week and certainly it’s more than Good News. Alleluia! Let’s take it to heart what the Lord is promising you and me and it will allow us all the more to be fortified in union with Him. So that we may go out and […]
FOURTH SUNDAY OF EASTER
Dear Church Family, Last Wednesday, I was sitting in my prayer chair at my little Altar that I have with the Blessed Mother Statue, the Crucifix, the Bible and lots of other little symbols and a candle to especially remind me of the presence of the Good Shepherd. Today, I am resting in the […]
THIRD SUNDAY OF EASTER
Dear Church Family, Let’s do something different this week in our private spiritual prayer time. Just rest in a couple of words from the Gospel and see what reflections they give you.

FIFTH SUNDAY OF EASTER
Dear Church Family, My sermon last Sunday was to get away from “Eventuality” and I probably made up that word. If you were going to move into an apartment and you asked a friend who was already in the apartment if the landlord got around to getting requests for repairs done in a proper time. […]
FOURTH SUNDAY OF EASTER
Dear Church Family, Ah, one of my favorite images of Jesus is of Him as the Good Shepherd. Really I don’t know what a shepherd does except he totally cares for his sheep, especially if any are lost. I can just feel Jesus loving me, loving everybody and wanting the best for them. When I […]
THIRD SUNDAY OF EASTER
A word from—Fr. Chris Jesus came and took the bread and gave it to them and in like manner the fish. Brothers and sisters, Sundays of Easter continue to recall to us the great event in the life of our Lord Jesus Christ – His resurrection which is a great article of our faith which […]
