Reflections on the weekly gospel from our Pastor.
From the Pastor Something that I find in common in today’s first reading and in the Gospel, is the story of two widows. Both are common, hard-working women. Both are poor. Both put their trust in God rather than in things. Both are rewarded for their faith. The first widow is a foreigner to the Read More
From the Associate Pastor On October 10, Pope Francis opened the synodal process for the Synod of Bishops in 2023. This process is called synodal (a Greek word that means journeying together) because it involves listening to the voices of Catholics from all over the world. Our Bishop, Robert McElroy summarized this process as: Encounter Read More
From the Associate Pastor How many of us recognize our spiritual blindness? How many of us reject and discriminate against people who come to Jesus to be healed? How many of us believe that Jesus can heal us of our spiritual blindness and we don’t ask Him in faith? Unfortunately, there are many Catholics with Read More

As we continue with our step-by-step explanation of the Eucharist, I pray that all of us will embrace this beautiful gift from Jesus, and participate more actively in our Eucharists. In today’s Gospel, we hear James and John asking Jesus for good places in the Kingdom of God, but I see that they were not Read More
From Our Associate Pastor. The Franciscan movement started with a few local people helping Francis care for the lepers outside the city walls of Assisi. For the early Franciscans, this was the privileged place where they could encounter Christ himself and undergo conversion. This is why nowadays you would find Franciscans taking care of the Read More
The following is a Franciscan Reflection, shared with us in place of a letter from our Pastor. St. Francis was a Loser What? Did I hear that right? ‘St. Francis was a loser.’ It was just last year, sitting outside during the pandemic in the cool night air for Mass on the Feast Day of Read More
As we continue reflecting on our understanding of the Eucharist, and following the Eucharistic Initiative, this Sunday’s Gospel is taken from St. Luke 24: 13-35. Some of us know this story “the road to Emmaus” very well. This story takes place in the day on Easter Sunday. Who are those two persons walking this road? Read More
“Commissioning Service of Catechists” This weekend we celebrate the commissioning Service of catechists with a fascinating reading from the Gospel of Saint Mark. In this Gospel, Mark tells us that, for Jesus, the ministry of service was very important. In the Gospel’s story we heard that Jesus called the twelve, and said to them, “If Read More
When we read, examine, and meditate on the Gospel of this Sunday, September 12, many questions will surely arise from Jesus towards us, and from us towards Jesus. Jesus knew perfectly his identity and what the response of his disciples would be when he told them the origin of his identity. If Jesus asked us Read More
