We had a special 6pm Mass for our parish feast day.

My three points:

1. Church Tour of St. Peter Markings
2. Serving for Pope Benedict, human weakness
3. The Gates of Hell shall not prevail

The livestream of this Mass can be found here (homily starts at 36.37).

From the 10am Mass on Sunday, June 28, 2026, the Thirteenth Sunday in Ordinary Time, Year A, at St. Peter Catholic Church in Mount Clemens.

My three points:

1. 51%?
2. 100%
3. Death in Christ

The livestream for the Mass can be found here (homily starting at 35.27).

From the noon Mass on Sunday, June 21, 2026, the Twelfth Sunday in Ordinary Time, Year A, at St. Peter Catholic Church in Mount Clemens.

In this homily, I briefly go over the Kerygma, and then make the point that a major part of our response (the fourth and final part of the Kerygma) is testifying to Jesus.

The Kerygma:

1. Created
2. Captured
3. Rescued
4. Response

From the 7:30am Mass on Sunday, June 14, 2026 the Eleventh Sunday in Ordinary Time at St. Peter Catholic Church in Mount Clemens.

We are back in "Ordinary" Time. Just what is "ordinary" for a Christian? Letting Jesus sanctify all the ordinary, boring, mundane places of our lives, and then taking Jesus out that He may sanctify everything.

I also gave a similar homily at the 10am Mass which was livestreamed. The livestream can be found here, the homily starts at 23:00.

From the 8am Mass on The Solemnity of the Most Sacred Heart of Jesus, Friday, June 12, 2026 at St. Peter Catholic Church in Mount Clemens.

I juxtapose the Church's calendar (where June is dedicated to the Sacred Heart of Jesus) with the world's calendar (where June is dedicated to "Pride" Month).

From the noon Mass on The Solemnity of the Most Holy Body and Blood of Christ, Sunday, June 7, 2026 at St. Peter Catholic Church in Mount Clemens.

My Three points:

1. Love and Life
2. The Eucharist (some theology)
3. How to Receive the Eucharist

References: I quoted St. John Vianney a number of times, mostly from his "Little Catechism," pp. 43-44.

Also, the livestream of this Mass can be found here (homily starting at 30:25).

From the 10am Mass on Sunday, May 31, 2026, Trinity Sunday, at St. Peter Catholic Church in Mount Clemens.

Our Emiritus Archbishop, Archbishop Vigneron graced us with his presence today.

My three points:

1. Moralistic Therapeutic Deism
2. The Trinity
3. The Call

The livestream for this Mass can be found here (homily starts at 30:34).

From the 7:30am Mass on Pentecost Sunday, May 24, 2026 at St. Peter Catholic Church in Mount Clemens.

My practice for the past few years is to "wing" my Pentecost homily and let the Holy Spirit flow.

From the 10am Mass on Sunday, May 17, 2026, the Solemnity of the Ascension, Year A, at St. Peter Catholic Church in Mount Clemens. At this Mass, we celebrated both the Ascension and the 10th anniversary of my ordination. For my homily, I tried to tie it all together.

My three points:

1. Doubted
2. Hope
3. It's Real!

The livestream of this Mass can be cound here (homily starts at 31.49).

From the 4pm Mass on Saturday, May 9, 2026, the Sixth Sunday of Easter, Year A at St. Peter Catholic Church in Mount Clemens.

In my homily today I highlighted one of my favorite lines in the Bible: "Always be ready to give an explanation to anyone who asks you for a reason for your hope" (1 Peter 3:15).

My three points:

1. "A Reason for Your Hope"
2. The "Information" Age?
3. Love Seeks Understanding

Here is some material I referenced:

• Books:
  • Beginning Apologetics (this set of books played a big part in my intellectual conversion)
  • Catechism of the Catholic Church (Every Catholic should have this book!)
  • Sheen's Life of Christ (one of the best books ever written on Our Lord)
  • (I am intending on making a list of my favorite books and making it available, but until that happens, perhaps my Goodreads account can give you some ideas.)
• Podcasts: Anything from Fr. Mike Schmitz is great. Check out his "Bible in a Year" or "Catechism in a Year"
• Radio: Check out Ave Maria Radio or ETWN Radio
• TV: EWTN
