In this homily, given at St. Pat's on Sunday, July 14th, 2024, Deacon Josh invites us to consider our response if the Lord were to ask us to go out on mission as he sent his apostles. The success of our life as Christians depends on our reliance on Jesus because we do by grace what Jesus does by nature. Accepting our littleness and dependence on Jesus leads to greater reliance on Jesus and thus more fruitful ministry.

In this homily given on Sunday, July 7th, 2024, Father Joshua Fons, the new parochial vicar at St. Pats, preaches about how no one lives a perfect life. In fact, most of our lives are a mess. But the Lord tells us through St. Paul, "My Grace is sufficient for you," and this simple truth changes everything. The Lord wants to make you a Saint, right in the middle of your messy life.

In this homily given at St. Pat's on Sunday, June 30th 2024, Fr. Miguel preaches on how God responds to us in our brokenness, sin, and worry. Because He is mercy itself - he always responds by giving us His life

In this homily given Sunday June 23, 2024, Fr Mathias preaches on the gospel of Jesus calming the wind and the waves. The disciples were afraid because they didn't yet believe in Jesus as the Lord of creation who was present in their boat. While it's normal for us to be afraid when we perceive a threat or a danger in our lives, Father challenges us to look for the presence of Jesus in the midst of such dangers (the storms of our lives) and place our faith in him. Only in such faith in his presence will we have the courage to resist the temptation to jump out of the boat into the very dangers we're afraid of.

In this homily, given on Father's Day (June 16th, 2024), Dcn Josh expounds upon St. Paul's message that faith allows us to live courageously in our earthly life as we set our hope on eternal life. He then explains how the parables in the Gospel (the farmer observing growth and the mustard seed) apply to fatherhood. The sacrifices fathers make for their families are like little seeds which take root in their children's hearts. Let us thank God for our natural and spiritual fathers, and let us pray that they receive the grace they need to be icons of our Heavenly Father!

In this homily given at St. Pat's on June 9, 2024, Fr. Miguel preaches on the importance of maintaining unity with Christ and his Church. For Jesus says in the Gospel that "if a house is divided against itself, that house will not be able to stand." The devil cannot defeat God, nor can he collapse Christ's Church (Mt 28:20). So, what will be his strategy? To separate us from Christ and his Church- for apart from her we cannot stand.

In this homily given on Corpus Christi (Sunday, June 2, 2024), Fr Mathias outlines what it means to receive Jesus worthily and reverently. Intentionally not going into too much detail , Father offers an overview of the Church's teaching that Holy Communion is only for professed Catholics who are in a state of grace. He also reviews what it means to receive Holy Communion with great reverence, both in the heart and how we express that reverence in the postures at Mass.

In this homily, given at St. Pat's on May 19th, 2024, Dcn. Josh shares his testimony and experience hearing the call to the priesthood and being baptized in the Spirit. When we receive the Holy Spirit, our lives start to look like Christ's and we are able to be witnesses of Jesus' life, death, and resurrection in our daily lives. The Holy Spirit is a person, and thus we can have a personal relationship with Him.
