Greetings in Christ, all! It was just a few years ago last Thursday that my Mom went to be with the Lord. Of course I am biased, but I think she was extraordinary. I worked for a while on a couple different ideas to share her with you, but in the end, it hit me […]
Greetings in Christ, all! I’ve got a wonderful couple in marriage prep who just returned from Ireland. While there, they went to Nenagh Parish and saw something in the bulletin that they shared with me and I wanted to share it with you. What is a Live Church? A live church has parking problems; a […]
Greetings in Christ, all! I missed you all last week at the Priest’s Convocation. We had a marvelous time and I learned a lot. I want to take this time to share some of the things I learned with you. The focus of a lot of the talks in the beginning was with the consulters […]
Greetings in Christ, my Holy Family! Keeping in mind that I don’t have a ton of space, I’ve got two quick things to hit you with. First, we’ve had quite an influx of people aggressively asking for money at Church. As Jesus lovers, this presents us with a tough moral conundrum: we are called to […]

Hello, my beautiful Holy Family! We’ve got lots of important things to cover, so I’ll jump right in. The first thing is to ask for your help. I’m realizing more and more that a lot of people do not read the bulletin and/or listen to announcements. If you could, please help spread the word about […]
Okay, folks…we are in our last weekend in our current Spiritual Home…wow! There are a bunch of notes here that I think we’ll all need for our first weeks of celebrating Mass in the Hall. I’ll ask you to send these to everyone who might not have been at Mass to get the bulletin. So, […]
