St. Francis of Assisi is report to have once said, “Preach always; sometimes use words.” What he was, in effect, telling his listeners is that we are constantly called upon to be witnesses to the risen Jesus, to let others know that he is alive, and, therefore, we have reason to live our lives with [...]
Last week, we had John’s version of Jesus calling his first disciples; this week, Mark’s. Something for us to consider is that Jesus invites his followers right where they are: in the midst of the work that they do everyday. We read these sentences: “Immediately they left their nets and followed him… Immediately… they left [...]
The “Class is Mass” celebrations for Grade 5 catechism classes will now be held the weekend of February 25-26th at all the weekend Masses.
When the present lectionary (the book of Scripture Readings used at Mass) was compiled after the Second Vatican Council, the decision was made that, on Sundays during the Season of Ordinary Time, the First Reading—from the Old Testament—would be chosen to correspond with the Gospel of the day.

The gospel stories of Christmas focus, as we might expect, on the birth, infancy, and early life of Jesus. On the one hand, those stories appeal to children, and in some ways, hearing them brings out something of the awe and wonder of childhood in all of us. That’s a good thing! At the same [...]
Masses on Christmas Eve (Saturday, December 24th) – 4:00pm, 7:00pm and 10:00pm Mass on Christmas Day (Sunday, December 25th) – 10:00am only.

While they appeal to the youngsters, these accounts of faith are meant for all ages. They tell us that God is faithful, and that his love for us is the motivation behind the [...]
Mary makes her appearance on the Advent stage in today’s gospel. The story of the Annunciation, presented to us by Luke, helps us get a deeper insight into the woman whose “Yes” brought the world the Gift of Salvation. We see her as a young woman—likely in her early teen-age years—engaged to be married. She [...]
John the Baptist is one of the important personalities of Advent. In today’s gospel he describes himself as “the voice of one crying out in the wilderness,’ Make straight the way of the Lord!’” Through the mystery of the Word of God, John the Baptist speaks to us today, calling us to prepare for the [...]
The liturgical Word of God during the Season of Advent often features the Old Testament prophets—especially Isaiah. The biblical prophets were a group of people who lived about seven centuries before the time of Jesus. Their hearts focused on the presence of God; at the same time, they were also deeply in tune with the [...]
