“Be watchful! Be alert!” So says Jesus. Remember, Advent does two things, in this order: points to the second coming of Jesus at the end of time, and the first coming in the Incarnation on Christmas.

Updates on Religious Ed. and Sacramental Prep this week!

Happy Advent! During COVID, we’ve been putting more emphasis on the “Domestic Church.” How do we make our homes places where we encounter God? Advent offers a lot of opportunities to make our homes more like Church, and I’d like to share some of my favorites from when I was a child (and even still today!).

Happy Thanksgiving Weekend 2020 style! I hope and pray you all did what you could to express gratitude to God and to loved ones. I sure missed our usual big Thanksgiving morning Mass.

Go make a difference - wisely!

Quas Primas, the first thing. Today’s feast was established to remind us that Jesus Christ is our King, the Lord of our lives. That was in 1925…has it worked?

This week, we have sacramental preparation updates and a lesson on the Martyrs of Vietnam.

Hello everyone! This week as we prepare to celebrate Thanksgiving (admittedly, not in the way we all might have hoped!), I’m reminded of how crucial gratitude is for both our relationship with God and with one another.

Well, here we go into a new level of restrictions. I urge each of you to do all you can to stay safe — and to not compromise living fully in the meantime!

Happy Thanksgiving - You are all amazing!

I was listening to Catholic radio and joined just as the man speaking told a story. As a child, his parents sent him to Christian (not Catholic) Bible Camp.

Advent family activities are headed your way!

Greetings from the middle of November!

Here come the Holidays, 2020 style. . . . . . .

Simply showing someone that they matter makes a difference

“Oh when the Saints come marching in…” Oh I want to be in that number, or so the song goes!

We have LIVE in-person meetings next week!

I received a note from Bishop Peter asking me to extend thanks to all of you for your support of the Fire Relief Fund. Our parish sent off over $80,000, some to Catholic Charities and some directly to Sacred Heart Parish in Medford that had so many families burned out. Well done, good and faithful and generous people!

There is LOTS going on and together we are MAKING A DIFFERENCE!
