  • The Purpose of our Lives | Fr. Mathias Thelen
    Jul 14 2025

    In this homily given on the Fifteenth Sunday of Ordinary Time (July 13, 2025), Fr. Mathias preaches on the essence of our Christian faith: love. Our faith is ultimately about receiving the love of God in Christ and loving God and neighbor in response for the ultimate purpose of living with the God of love in heaven.

    Because it's easy to dismiss our neighbor and pursue the world's definition of success, Father Mathias challenges us to remember that becoming a saint (loving God and neighbor) really is the purpose of our lives. Father exhorts all of us to sincerely pray that God makes us a saint, which is one of the most important prayers we can say.

  • The Face of the Bride | Dcn. Peter Randolph
    Jul 7 2025

    In this homily, given on July 6, 2025, Dcn. Peter preaches about the crucial role that religious sisters play in the Body of Christ. Religious sisters give a human face to the Bride, the Church, and support the vocations of married couples and priests. Until religious sisters are in every parish, the Church cannot reach full health. Dcn. Peter ends with an invitation to young women to consider religious life and a call for all the faithful to pray for vocations to the religious life as a way to answer Jesus' command to pray for laborers to enter the harvest.

  • Pray for Your Leaders | Dcn. Peter Randolph
    Jun 30 2025

    In this homily, given on June 29, 2025, Dcn. Peter preaches about the call to pray for our leaders. God pours out special graces on each feast of the Church, and on this Solemnity of Sts. Peter and Paul, God is pouring out graces on our leaders and the grace for us to intercede for them. Dcn. Peter emphasizes the power of our prayers as members of the Body of Christ, looking to the Apostolic Church as a witness to the power of prayer for our leaders. Dcn. Peter concludes by encouraging everyone to place a stick in their house for a week and to pray for our leaders whenever we see the stick, which will help us remember to pray for our leaders in the upcoming days.

  • For Those We Will Never Meet | Fr. Joshua Fons
    Jun 3 2025

    On Ascension Sunday, June 1st, 2025, Father Joshua Fons preaches about the reality of the mission that Christ gave to the Apostles, and how, because of their faithfulness to that mission, it has now been passed on to us. Father Joshua found particular inspiration in the final Mission: Impossible Movie that just hit theatres. (Don't worry, no spoilers here!) Critically, as we prepare for Pentecost next weekend, we are invited to call upon the Holy Spirit, so that strengthened like the Apostles, we can live out this mission.

  • He Longs to Be Present to Us | Dcn. Peter Randolph
    May 27 2025

    In this homily, given on May 25, 2025, Dcn. Peter preaches about God's desire to be present to us. Jesus promises to dwell within us, and salvation history demonstrates that God's desire has been to draw near to us, even when we reject Him. If God wants to dwell in us, what does that look like? Jesus linked His indwelling with keeping His Word, so Dcn. Peter invites the congregation to read the daily Mass readings and ask the Holy Spirit to teach them what it looks like to live constantly in God's Presence.
