Live from the beautiful St. Francis Xavier in Stillwater, OK
Let’s be honest with ourselves, there is room for improvement when it comes to welcoming new members to the Church. Or better yet, have we shown hospitality to the family that has been sitting in the pews right across from us for the last 5, 10, or 20 years? Fr. Brian O’Brien, pastor of St. Francis Xavier in Stillwater, OK, joins us as we talk about ways we can improve and welcome those in the church.
