On Divine Mercy Sunday, Fr. Travis Stephens, PhD, reflects on the powerful Gospel encounter between Jesus and St. Thomas, reminding us that we are Thomas’s “twin,” called to believe without seeing.

Drawing from the testimony of the apostles and the reality of the Resurrection, this homily explores the foundation of Christian faith and the astonishing moment when Jesus gives His apostles the divine authority to forgive sins.

Why does the Church have confession?

How is God’s mercy still at work today?

Why are so many people joining the Catholic Church right now? In this powerful Easter homily, Fr. Travis reflects on the surge of Catholic conversions seen at the Easter Vigil locally (the largest group our parish can remember!), across the country and around the world. He also fondly recalls his entrance into the Church 25 years ago.

In the wake of global suffering, from COVID-19 to war and cultural uncertainty, many are rediscovering a deeper spiritual hunger that wealth, success and status cannot satisfy. Drawing on Scripture, the teachings of St. Augustine and the transformative grace of Baptism, this homily explores how God alone fulfills the human heart.

If you’ve ever wondered why people are becoming Catholic, returning to the faith or searching for meaning in difficult times, this reflection offers a compelling answer rooted in Jesus Christ, sacrifice (kenosis) and the call to live a life of charity.
