Dear Parishioners,

This weekend, the Church returns to Ordinary Time and to the steady, grace-filled journey of discipleship. In the Gospel from Gospel of Matthew, Jesus calls the Twelve Apostles by name and sends them out on mission with these powerful words: ""The kingdom of heaven is at hand. Cure the sick, raise the dead, cleanse lepers, drive out demons. Without cost you have received; without cost you are to give."

Dear Parishioners,

This weekend we celebrate the Solemnity of Corpus Christi, the Most Holy Body and Blood of Jesus Christ. It is a universal feast of the Church that calls us to deepen our love, reverence, and understanding of the Real Presence of Jesus in the Holy Eucharist. The Eucharist remains one of the greatest mysteries and gifts of our Catholic faith: that Christ gives Himself to us truly and completely under the appearance of bread and wine.

Dear Parishioners,

Greetings on the Solemnity of the Most Holy Trinity. Today we celebrate one of the great mysteries of our Catholic faith: that God has revealed Himself as Father, Son, and Holy Spirit; one God in three distinct Persons. This feast invites us not only to reflect upon a doctrine of the Church, but also to enter more deeply into the very life of God. In His very essence, God is communion, relationship, and perfect love.

Dear Parishioners,

This week we celebrate the Solemnity of Pentecost, the outpouring of the Holy Spirit upon the Apostles and the early Church. Through the power of the Spirit, the message of Jesus moved from fear and silence behind locked doors to the bold proclamation that Jesus Christ is Lord. Pentecost is often called the "Birthday of the Church" because it is through the Holy Spirit that the Church comes alive and continues the mission of spreading the Good News to the world.

Dear Parishioners,

This week the Church celebrates the great Solemnity of the Ascension of the Lord. After His Passion, Death, and glorious Resurrection, Jesus ascends to the right hand of the Father, not to leave us behind, but to draw us more deeply into the mystery of God’s love. From the Cross to the empty tomb, and now to the glory of Heaven, Christ reveals that love is stronger than sin, suffering, and even death itself.

Dear Parishioners,

On this Sixth Sunday of Easter, the Lord gives us a profound and beautiful promise, one that can easily pass by us if we are not attentive. Jesus says, “On that day you will realize that I am in my Father and you are in me and I in you.” In these words, He reveals the mystery of what we might call the divine indwelling: God does not remain distant or far removed from us, but desires to dwell within us.

Dear Parishioners,

The month of May is upon us, a beautiful time in the life of the Church when we honor our Blessed Mother and give thanks for the gift of our own mothers. I invite you to make a simple but powerful commitment this month: pray the Memorare each day for peace- in our hearts, our families, our nation, and our world.
