Here is the homily I gave for the 5th Sunday in Ordinary Time. This is the fourth in the series, "Everyone is Searching." At the Mass with children today, I emphasized the need we have to stay focused on the message of Jesus and not allow ourselves to be distracted by things that fascinate us. Jesus wants us focused on the message of repentance and the Kingdom.

Here is the homily I gave for the 2nd Sunday in Ordinary Time. This is the first in the series, "Everyone is Searching." Whether we realize it or not, everyone is searching for something. It was God Who created us to desire Him, and until we turn to Him, we will remain restless in our search to be satisfied.

Merry Christmas to you and your family!

Here is the homily I gave for the Feast of the Holy Family. This is the second in the series, "Welcome Home." In a world that keeps trying to change what family is, we need Christians to understand what God made the family to be. May all our families grow in holiness and peace.

Merry Christmas to you and your family!

Here is the homily I gave for Christmas. This is the first in the series, "Welcome Home." Christmas is a time when we realize the important of our family and that it is our family that makes our home a home. We must all strive to be Light in our homes so that we can overcome the darkness.

Merry Christmas to you and your family!

Here is the homily I gave for the 3rd Sunday of Advent. This is the third in the series, "Coming Home." All of us want to be prepared for Christmas, but many of us are focussing our attention on the wrong thing. If we wish to give the perfect gift, we all need to work on our self-mastery, and then make a sincere gift of self to others.

Here is the homily I gave for the Second Sunday of AdventSecond Sunday of Advent. This is the second in the series, "Coming Home." We are all making preparations for various reasons. The most important preparation, however, should be preparing to receive Jesus into our lives. This homily was given at the Family Mass with some interactions with the children present.

Here is the homily I gave for the First Sunday of Advent. This begins a series entitled, "Coming Home." For the Season of Advent, we will be emphasizing Family, Heritage, and Hospitality. All of these are part of a process that leads us to our Heavenly Home. To arrive safely, we must journey with our earthly family in the Church.

Here is the homily I gave for the Solemnity of Christ, King of the Universe. This is the final in the series, "Ready or Not." At this Mass I offered the homily to the children reflecting how the way we respond to others and the way we treat them is the way we treat Christ. We must work to be ready for when our King will return, which means showing our Love to God and others.
