Fr. Steve Mateja's Podcasts

Fr. Steve invited the Archbishop to celebrate Mass at St. John Fisher and to address our booming and growing college and young adult ministry.  On Sunday March 12th the Archbishop celebrated Holy Mass and after gave a talk to the students and young adults.  EIGHTY-EIGHT 18-25 year olds gathered to hear him speak?  Where is that happening?  Pray for our community and our growth.

Wednesday in the Word: 3rd Sunday of Lent Bible Study with Fr. Steve.  Fr. Steve has been doing a weekly Bible Study on the weekly readings--a deeper dive into the Scriptures for the last five months.  Many have asked for them to be recorded.  

Fr. Steve gave a talk on Sunday night to the CCM (Catholic Campus Ministry) group at Oakland University on Saints Relics.  Fr. Steve has been gifted many relics over the last many years and he explains the Church's teaching on Relics and why we use them and why they are permitted.

The form is the manifestation of beauty.  The Transfiguration is the manifestation of Divinity--of Heaven on Earth.  This moment is not a sign or a symbol pointing to God--this is God revealing what we have to come to us!  

Is the devil real? Michigan's biggest football rival.  Attack back--are we allowed to?

Forgive your enemies—pray for those who persecute you. Perhaps the hardest words in the entire Gospel. How? Is it even possible today?
