A Reflection From our Pastoral Team Today, we are presented with a very brief gospel. Remember now that we are in the gospel of Saint Mark, and the great thing about Mark is that he leaves you asking questions all the time. Last Sunday, we heard that Jesus sent his apostles, two by two, to Read More

Jesus, our Savior, and Redeemer, not only sends his disciples to proclaim the Good News, but he also sends each of us to do the same. This mission is an obligation not only for priests and consecrated persons but for all men and women who have been baptized. How can we see, experience, and hear from our Savior if “the harvest is abundant, but the laborers are few”?

The one who had much did not have too much, and the one who had little did not have too little. (2 Cor 8:15)

A Reflection From our Pastoral Team For today’s Gospel, we continue to read from the Gospel of Mark. Last Sunday, we heard about Jesus calming the storm, the first of four miracles that Jesus performed near the Sea of Galilee. These four miracle stories offer us a glimpse at Jesus’ power. This week, we hear Read More

Bulletin Reflection If you had to explain what Jesus was up to in the gospels, one good answer would be, he was trying to make the familiar strange again.

This Presence happens through the change which the Church calls transubstantiation (“change of substance”) when Read More

From the Associate Pastor’s desk This Sunday, May 26th, we are celebrating the feast of The Most Holy Trinity. It is a feast where God the Father reveals himself to us as God the Creator, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit. There are not three gods, but one true God acting, communicating, and Read More

This Sunday, we celebrate the Feast of Pentecost. On Pentecost, we celebrate the descent of the Holy Spirit upon the apostles gathered full of fear in the upper room in Jerusalem. This marks the beginning of the Church.  We welcome the Holy Spirit into our hearts and lives to give hope to the hearts that are frightened.

The Holy Spirit continues to be poured upon all of us today, helps the church to proclaim the good news, to help the poor, and to love our neighbor. It is through the work of the Spirit that we meet Jesus and can see his work today.
