  • Welcome [back] home
    Welcome [back] home
    If you've been away from the practice of the faith for a little while or a long time, welcome back! 

    People stop practicing their faith for all sorts of reasons.
    However, Jesus never stops calling us back home to his Catholic Church.
    Right now he's calling you, waiting for you to respond to his invitation
    to experience again the peace and joy that only he can bring.

    The global pandemic has made us all think about what is truly important in our lives.
    Say 'yes' to Jesus and come back home.

      The Humble of the Earth
      When I think of the Beatitudes, I think of collectible coffee mugs emblazoned with the words Blessed are the peacemakers, with little pastel flowers stenciled in the white spaces of the lettering. I think of greeting cards and decorative wall hangings.

      by Father John Muir
      Gospel Meditation
      In my parents’ bedroom there were on the wall two photos of my mom and dad from their early adulthoods. The photo of my mother entranced me when I was a boy. I loved looking at it, even though I saw her in daily life. Something about that picture captured her perfectly. It was an image of the joy, wisdom, beauty, and strength that enveloped me from the start of my life. It was an icon of the woman who fed, taught, and encouraged me. I felt a deep pride that I came from such beauty.
