Today is December 28, 2025, the celebration of the Holy Family of Jesus, Mary, and Joseph. Our celebrants were Fr. Chris Tiano and Deacon Dominic Corraro.
The Holy Family wasn’t “perfect” because life was easy - they were perfect because they listened to God and said yes, even in the middle of hardship. Today’s homily reminds us that whether your family feels like a classic sitcom or is beautifully complicated and blended, God is present, calling us to listen and respond with love. Let’s take a moment today to pray for someone in our family and ask for the grace to be a light in their darkness.

Today is December 21, 2025 - the 4th Sunday of Advent. Our celebrant was Fr. Christopher Tiano.
We often think of Saint Joseph as a silent figure in the background of the Christmas story. But his "yes" was just as pivotal as Mary’s. St. Thomas Aquinas suggested that Joseph didn't want to leave Mary out of doubt, but out of humility. He felt unworthy of the massive task God set before him. Sound familiar?
Whether you’re a new parent, starting a new job, or just trying to navigate a difficult season, we all face moments where we think, "I can't do this." Joseph shows us that God doesn't call the equipped; He equips the called.

Today is December 14, 2025 - the 3rd Sunday of Advent. Our celebrants were Fr. Lee Hellwig and Deacon Joseph Ryzewski.
John the Baptist's story shows us that doubt and disappointment are part of the journey. From his prison cell, the prophet who once proclaimed with fire now wonders, “Is Jesus really the one?”
Jesus' response? "Happy are the ones who did not lose faith in me." This Advent message reminds us that faith doesn’t mean never questioning - it means trusting that God is with us even in our darkest, most uncertain moments.

Today is November 30, 2025, the 1st Sunday of Advent. Our celebrants were Fr. Lee Hellwig and Deacon Ronald Gurr.
Today we begin a new liturgical year and the short but meaningful season of Advent.
Advent is more than just a countdown to Christmas; it is a journey toward the light. In the midst of a darkening world, we light the first candle and remember that the Lord is not hiding from us. He is always moving toward us, just as we strive to move toward Him.
In the rush of the season, let us hold tight to the ancient prayer, “Come, Lord Jesus.” May this season help us walk in His light, seek His peace, and move toward Him each day.

Today is November 16, 2025, the 33rd Sunday in Ordinary Time. Our celebrants were Fr. Chris Tiano and Deacon Joseph Ryzewski.
The Temple shaped the faith of Israel. It was a place of sacrifice, gathering, and God’s presence. In Luke’s Gospel, Jesus steps into that story and fulfills it. Today, He is our gathering place. He is our sacrifice. He is with us. As we reflect on the "end times” readings of this season, we do so not with fear, but with trust because Christ gathers us, redeems us, and makes us one people in Him.

Today is November 2, 2025, the Commemoration of All the Faithful Departed. Our celebrants were Fr. Chris Tiano and Deacon Ronald Gurr.In his All Souls Day homily, Father shares a poignant childhood memory of losing a beloved “Grandma Mongillo,” reminding us that even though loss is never easy and we’ll always miss those we love, our faith offers a profound promise: death is not the end.Scripture tells us “the souls of the just are in the hands of God,” and through Christ’s resurrection, we are promised eternal life. We are made for eternity, and in that promise we find hope, peace, and the assurance that love endures beyond the grave.Permission to stream the music in this service obtained from ONE LICENSE with license # A-735133.

Today is October 12, 2025, the 28th Sunday in Ordinary Time. Our celebrants were Fr. Lee Hellwig and Deacon Dominic Corraro.
In this weekend’s homily, we were reminded that faith begins in our willingness to approach Jesus, even in moments of pain, alienation, or despair. The lepers in today’s Gospel didn’t demand healing; they simply asked for mercy. Their faith wasn’t just in being cured, but in trusting God’s will.
Can we do the same? Can we say “Your will be done” when we face illness, misunderstanding, or spiritual struggle? When we approach the Lord with faith and humility, He meets us with mercy, healing, and salvation.

Today is October 5, 2025, the 27th Sunday in Ordinary Time. Our celebrants were Fr. Christopher Tiano and Deacon Dominic Corraro.
Did you catch Father Tiano's inspiring homily this weekend? He challenged us to think about how we, as a Church, adapt to a changing world while staying true to our core mission: evangelization.
He highlighted three key takeaways for our parish's pastoral plan:
• Acknowledge the Holy Spirit's power within us.
•Remember the Church's purpose is to evangelize.
• Embrace our call to leadership in living out our faith.
A beautiful reminder that our faith isn't just for us, but for sharing!

Today is September 28, 2025, the 26th Sunday in Ordinary Time. Our celebrant was Fr. Lee Hellwig.
This week, Father Hellwig challenged us to reflect on the dangers of complacency in our faith. From Amos’ warning to those “complacent in Zion” to Jesus’ parable of the rich man and Lazarus, we were reminded that the greatest sin is often not what we do, but what we fail to do. The rich man’s downfall came from ignoring Lazarus at his very gate.
St. Paul urges us to “fight the good fight of faith” - to actively pursue righteousness, devotion, and love. Father Hellwig reminded us that true faith isn’t passive; it requires action, compassion, and responsibility.
Each of us is called to respond to the needs around us, not waiting for others or larger systems to step in. Faith comes alive when we move beyond words and into loving action. Let us not be complacent, but courageous and compassionate, serving those nearest to us.

Today is September 21, 2025, the 25th Sunday in Ordinary Time. Our celebrants were Fr. Lee Hellwig and Deacon Dominic Corraro.
Deacon Corraro's homily shared the poignant story of Steve Jobs, who, despite immense material wealth, found it all meaningless at the end of his life. It's a powerful reminder of the Gospel's truth: "You cannot serve both God and mammon." So often, we chase after things, forgetting that real wealth lies in our spiritual journey, our acts of charity, and the love we share. Let's remember that money is a tool, not a master, and true riches are found in our relationship with Jesus, our faith, and our loved ones.

Today is September 7, 2025, the 23rd Sunday in Ordinary Time. Our celebrants were Fr. Christopher Tiano and Deacon Dominic Corraro.
In his homily, Father Tiano discusses how Jesus uses hyperbole to teach us about discipleship. He explores three key invitations from the Gospel: putting Jesus first, taking up our own cross, and renouncing possessions. Father Tiano reminds us that true discipleship means prioritizing our relationship with Christ, uniting our sufferings with his, and examining whether our possessions truly possess us.

This weekend we welcomed Rev. Abraham Lukose, who spoke on behalf of the Diocese of Parassala, one of the newest and most impoverished dioceses in South India. The diocese's priority is a three-year residential program for 20 girls from poor families, preparing them for nursing careers through secondary schooling, English and German language training, and personal formation. Your generosity will help transform their lives and provide hope for a brighter future. We ask you to please be generous toward this mission.
In his homily, Father Abraham reminds us that embracing discipline and suffering can be a path to spiritual growth and true success. He encourages us to accept the challenges God gives us as gifts, leading us to a more abundant life.

Today is August 17, 2025, the 20th Sunday in Ordinary Time. Our celebrants were Fr. Lee Hellwig and Deacon Ronald Gurr.
Today's homily dives deep into some powerful truths. It reminds us that Jesus's kingship wasn't about earthly power, but about the ultimate act of love - the crucifixion. It also explores the idea of the Holy Spirit as a refining fire and the "baptism of anguish" that Jesus underwent. The message is clear: there's a cost to our faith, and loyalty to Christ must come before all else.

Today is August 10, 2025, the 19th Sunday in Ordinary Time. Our celebrants were Fr. Christopher Tiano and Deacon Dominic Corraro.
In his homily, Father shares how a childhood trip to the Dachau concentration camp - where over 1,000 Catholic priests died for their faith - inspired his own calling to the priesthood. Years later, he learned his father, a quiet WWII veteran, was among those who liberated the camp.
He connects his father's sacrifice and the heroism of the priests at the camp to the gospel message, reminding us that with great blessings comes a great responsibility to share the Gospel and serve others. That gift of faith and freedom, he says, comes with a responsibility: to proclaim Jesus, serve the poor, and become the people God calls us to be.

Today is August 3, 2025, the 18th Sunday in Ordinary Time. Our celebrants were Fr. Lee Hellwig and Deacon Ronald Gurr.
Father Hellwig delivered a powerful homily on the importance of making a will as an act of responsible adulthood and a reflection of what truly matters to us. He also offered a timely warning against the dangers of greed, urging us instead to embrace generosity and become "rich in the sight of God." Father warned of greed’s grip: the rich man hoarded, obsessed with “my barn, my grain, my goods”, and forgot what truly matters. Let’s live with intention, give with grace, and leave a legacy of love.
