Father Weber is a visiting missionary priest who is visiting from India, and who celebrated today's 11AM Mass, and is here to ask for prayers and financial support for his religious community and the people that they serve. Please be as generous as you can.

In today's homily, we are reminded about the importance of prayer, and being persistent in our prayer. Daily prayer is the means of staying connected to God, and maintaining our relationship with Him. With so many things to distract us, we must work harder than ever to stay connected to Him, and we do that through prayer. Please listen and reflect on the words of today's homily, and hear what God is saying to your heart. Please share this podcast with a family member or a friend. Have a blessed week!!

In today's homily, Deacon Mace reminds us of the importance of hospitality, and in welcoming family, friends, and strangers. In today's gospel, we meet Martha and Mary, who are happy to see Jesus and welcome Him to their home. Martha is concerned with hospitality and "details", but Mary listens to Jesus with an open mind and heart . The gospel says that Mary has chosen the better way, to be present and listen to the Lord. Deacon Mace suggests that we invite Jesus into our homes and into our daily lives, but we must speak with Him about our concerns, our hopes, anxieties, our worries and joys. Then we must listen, in silence, to our Lord's response. Have a blessed week!!

In today's homily, Msgr. McCormac shares his insights on the gospel story of the Good Samaritan. Jesus uses this parable to teach us how we are to care for one another. His message is very clear, that we are called to respond to those who are in need. Msgr. shares a personal story, and reminds us that there are disabilities that we just do not see, and that we need to take that into consideration, especially when there is a need. Take some time today to reflect on how you respond to those in need, and never to discriminate in any way, shape, or form. Pray for the grace to respond to any need that might come before you.  Please share this podcast with a family member or a friend, and have a blessed week.

In today's homily, Deacon Mace reflects on the day's readings, and asks that we allow the Lord to transform our minds and our hearts to be true disciples of the Lord, giving us the courage to be generous to His call to go forth. May our words and actions identify us as followers of Jesus Christ. Please share this podcast with someone who might benefit in hearing it, and have a blessed week!!

In today's Mass, we honor and celebrate the two apostles selected by Jesus Himself, to be the first leaders of the Catholic church. We are talking about St. Peter and St. Paul. This feast is always celebrated on June 29, and this year, it happened to fall on a Sunday. In his homily, Msgr. Magee explains how Jesus establishes these two great saints in roles that would become His authority in the world. Peter, a fisherman, would become a "fisher of men" according to God's own plan, and the first Pope of the Catholic church. Paul became became a proclaimer of the one that "he had once denied", and was instrumental in spreading the story of Jesus beyond Rome.  Please listen to this excellent homily, and share it with someone who will benefit from hearing it. Have a blessed week!!  

In today's homily, Deacon Lou reminds us of the great belief that is ours as Catholics. Today's feast of Corpus Christi celebrates the great truth that Jesus Christ, under the appearance of ordinary bread and wine, through the hands of the priest and the power of the Holy Spirit, becomes the actual body and blood, soul and divinity of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. He tells us that our challenge as believers is to live the teachings of Jesus Christ because we have received him in the Eucharist. The gift of Jesus giving Himself to us at each Mass in the Eucharist  implies the giving of ourselves to others. Today's Mass was held in near total darkness due to a major power failure on Thursday, June 19th due to storms. Thank you to the parish staff who set up the generators that allowed us to produce this livestream for our parishioners. Have a blessed week!!

In today's homily, Msgr. Magee helps us to better understand the mystery of the Holy Trinity: one God in three divine persons. Listen to this well crafted homily, and please share it with a family member or a friend. Happy Father's Day!!

In today's homily, Msgr. McCormac helps us to understand the great feast that we celebrate today, the Solemnity of Pentecost. He reminds us that it is the "birthday of the church", and shares a personal story to help us to understand the importance of family in strengthening the church. Please listen and share this podcast with someone who is open to the message it contains. Have a blessed week!!

In today's homily, Msgr. Magee helps us to understand today's gospel reading, in light of the fact that Jesus has returned to His rightful throne with His Father in Heaven. This gospel from John is a most intimate conversation between Jesus and His Father in Heaven. It is God sharing His eternal plan for each of us. "We are a thought of God" .  Listen to this thoughtful homily, and know just how much we are all, unconditionally loved by God. Please share this podcast, and have a blessed week.
