We can often believe that there is a limit to the Father's love, just like you can only get so many ice cream samples.  But neither are the case, and we believe that we don't deserve to be immersed in the love that we are baptized into.  Come, follow us: Parish Website  |  Facebook  |  Instagram  |  YouTube  |  Spotify Music

The wisemen follow the star that brings others to Jesus, and often we contemplate who or what led us to Jesus, but how often are we aware of who we are leading to Jesus?

As we celebrate the Solemnity of Mary, Mother of God, we reflect on how we can make this year the best year yet.  The Lord wants us to have the best, how are we holding ourselves back from all his good gifts?    Come, follow us: Parish Website  |  Facebook  |  Instagram  |  YouTube  |  Spotify Music

Our homes and families are called to mirror the Holy Family, which can sound quite overwhelming at first.  But when we look to the example of St. Joseph, we learn that spending time in silence, listening for God, is the model for families.  It is in that silence that our hearts are filled, and we can best serve our families.   Come, follow us: Parish Website  |  Facebook  |  Instagram  |  YouTube  |  Spotify Music

On Christmas we celebrate a God who became little, like us, entering into our world, lives, and mess, so that we would know that we don't have to hide ourselves from Him, but can share our struggles, hurts, wounds, and weakness with the newborn King.         Come, follow us: Parish Website  |  Facebook  |  Instagram  |  YouTube  |  Spotify Music

As we hear Jesus preach to us about the end times, we can quickly go into one of two camps, either no one is getting into heaven, or everyone is getting into heaven.  But when we realize that we have a God full of mercy and hope, we can prepare ourselves and those around us for heaven, knowing of the mercy of God and the hope of being with Him again in heaven.   Come, follow us: Parish Website  |  Facebook  |  Instagram  |  YouTube  |  Spotify Music
