Fr. John reflects on the short gospel that is read at the beginning of the Palm Sunday celebration as Jesus enters humbly into Jerusalem.  What a different entrance for the king of kings!!  We too must enter into Holy Week and Jerusalem with humble and open hearts to receive the Lord who saves us!!

John and Mary Lou Wood share a bit of their faith journey during our 2024 Lenten Friday night series. A wonderful husband and wife who regularly attend St. Agnes Parish---part of the Chatham Catholic Family of Parishes.

As we draw closer to Holy Week, the gospel intensifies as Jesus senses the cross very close.  We hear in the gospel another epiphany moment as we hear the voice of the Heavenly Father.  Are we ready to surrender and be the faithful disciple Jesus calls us to be?  When we serve and sacrifice we create much fruit of grace.

Walter Debicki, a parishioner of Our Lady of Victory Polish Catholic Community, part of the Chatham Catholic Family of Parishes, shares a bit about his faith and how God has guided him in life.

Fr. John concludes the message series reflecting on the need for right worship---that is, directing our efforts and prayers to God's will and not our own.  RIGHT ACTION is seeking to carry the cross each day serving others---which then creates moments of grace and flashes of new hope.  May we always risk getting out of our comfort zones to bring the hope and joy of Jesus to the world.

Jesus is the light and he came to us not to condemn us but to save us.  Lent is about walking in that light so that we are transformed and reflect that light in our world.  May we always celebrate Lent joyfully seeking conversion and renewal.

Meagan King, a young person that attends St. Joseph Church in the Chatham Catholic Family of Parishes shares a faith witness calling us to love as Christ loves. The world needs love and it needs us.

Fr. Danny concludes the mission reflecting on Esther and completing his vocation story.  Mission accomplished.

Fr. Danny continues to share his own vocation story and talks about King David and his response to God's call.  It's complicated.  Listen to find out more.

The cleansing of the temple we hear from the Gospel of John this Sunday reminds us of the call for right worship.  We need to pray and worship the Lord attentively so that we can act and serve with grace and joy.  Right worship leads to mission and right action.  May we be open to what Jesus wants to offer us each time we pray.
