Easter Sunday: He is Risen! Embrace New Life!

Join us as we explore the profound mystery of the empty tomb as recounted in the Gospels of John (Chapter 20) and Luke. We'll unpack the experiences of Mary Magdalene, Peter, and John as they encounter the first signs of Jesus' triumph over death – the rolled-away stone, the burial cloths, the angelic message: "Why are you looking for the living among the dead?"

24 March • God Welcomes All

Join Fr. James Marchionda, OP for today's insightful daily homily (Monday, March 24th) as we reflect on the powerful readings from 2 Kings 5:1-15 and Luke 4:24-30. Discover how God's healing extends beyond borders, as seen in the story of Naaman, and how Jesus reminds us that God's love and grace are for everyone.

The Second Sunday of Lent

Fr. James Marchionda, OP breaks open the readings for the Second Sunday of Advent, in which Peter, James, and John go up the mountain with Jesus and he is transfigured before them, and God tells them, "This is my Son, the Chosen One. Listen to him." As their faith was strengthened by this event, our faith should be strengthened as we journey through Lent, so that at the end of it no storm will be able to shake our faith in the God to whom we cling.

Readings: Genesis 15:5-12,​17-18; Philippians 3:17-4:1; Luke 9:28-36
