In this homily on October 26th, 2025, Fr Mathias preaches on the parable of the Pharisee and the tax collector in the temple. Behind the ugly self-righteous pride is a forgetfulness of God as the source of our goodness, that leads us to look down on others. Since this sin is difficult for us to see, Father Mathias outlines three signs that might indicate that we're struggling self-righteous pride: 1) We tend to take credit for the good things we're doing for God and others 2) We don't often ...

Your Role in the Battle is Irreplaceable | Fr. Joshua Fons
Father Joshua Fons explores the importance of perseverance in the day to day struggles of life by unpacking the battle of the Israelites against the Amalekites on Sunday, October 19th, 2025. Joshua, Moses, Aaron and Hur were each given different roles, but each was essential and irreplaceable. The same is true for us, and yet the Devil tries to hinder us in various ways, and make us believe that what we do doesn't make a difference. As Father Joshua unpacks the tactics and lies of the enemy, ...

The Reward for Serving God is Not a Participation Trophy | Fr. Mathias Thelen
In this homily on October 5th, 2025, Fr Mathias preaches on the truth that we are unprofitable servants who owe God everything. Yet our God still astoundingly chooses to love us. Father Mathias challenges us as God's servants to reject a fear-based Christianity that causes us to only do the "bare minimum" and invites us to see God's commandments in terms of love. We love God because he has first loved us and the reward for doing so isn't small.

Entering God's Love Demands Everything | Dcn. Peter Randolph
In this homily, delivered on September 28, 2025, Dcn. Peter preaches that God is inviting us to enter into His own divine life but to enter into this life demands everything. The Father, Son, and Holy Spirit hold nothing back from each other in their love, and to enter that love, we too must hold nothing back. This makes sense of the parable of the rich man and Lazarus. The rich man chose to reject God's offer of divine life and to hold back love from Lazarus, which resulted in eternal separa...

How Will You Spend Your Dishonest Wealth? | Fr. Joshua Fons
Father Joshua Fons breaks open this Sunday's puzzling Gospel of the Dishonest Steward (September 21st, 2025). The key lies in recognizing that everything we have, all our gifts and talents, are all dishonest wealth. It is all a gift! We didn't earn any of it. The question for us then becomes: what will we do with it? Will we use it for ourselves, or will we spend it to gain eternal rewards? Will we use it to save souls? On our response to this question hinges our salvation, and the salvation ...

Loved Even in Our Lowest Place | Dcn. Peter Randolph
In this homily, preached on August 31, 2025, Dcn. Peter preaches about Jesus' love for us even in our lowest place. In prayer, we are called by Jesus to go to our lowest place, our place of weakness and brokenness, so that we can meet Him there. When we meet Him there, He sits with us, loves us, and gradually transforms us. Experiencing Jesus' love in our lowest place allows us to live from love and security instead of shame and fear. Here is the talk by Fr. Mathias that Dcn. Peter ment...

Are You In the Game? | Fr. Joshua Fons
As Football season approaches, Father Joshua Fons challenges us to consider whether, in our Faith, we are just a spectator or whether we are in the game. In the Gospel this Sunday, August 24th, 2025, we hear Jesus asked about salvation: "Will only a few people be saved?" Rather than give us a percentage, or a theory, treating us like spectators, Jesus gives us a command: Strive. Strive to enter by the narrow gate. This is personal. Each of us is called to strive to enter by the narrow g...

The Fire of God's Love and Division in our Families | Fr. Mathias Thelen

But we are also meant to respond with humility on how we can be a better witness. Father ends his homily with an exhortation to persevere in our faith together in our mission to set the earth on fire with the love of God.

The Purpose of our Lives | Fr. Mathias Thelen
In this homily given on the Fifteenth Sunday of Ordinary Time (July 13, 2025), Fr. Mathias preaches on the essence of our Christian faith: love. Our faith is ultimately about receiving the love of God in Christ and loving God and neighbor in response for the ultimate purpose of living with the God of love in heaven. Because it's easy to dismiss our neighbor and pursue the world's definition of success, Father Mathias challenges us to remember that becoming a saint (l...

The Face of the Bride | Dcn. Peter Randolph
In this homily, given on July 6, 2025, Dcn. Peter preaches about the crucial role that religious sisters play in the Body of Christ. Religious sisters give a human face to the Bride, the Church, and support the vocations of married couples and priests. Until religious sisters are in every parish, the Church cannot reach full health. Dcn. Peter ends with an invitation to young women to consider religious life and a call for all the faithful to pray for vocations to the religious life as a way ...

In this homily, given on June 29, 2025, Dcn. Peter preaches about the call to pray for our leaders. God pours out special graces on each feast of the Church, and on this Solemnity of Sts. Peter and Paul, God is pouring out graces on our leaders and the grace for us to intercede for them. Dcn.

For Those We Will Never Meet | Fr. Joshua Fons
On Ascension Sunday, June 1st, 2025, Father Joshua Fons preaches about the reality of the mission that Christ gave to the Apostles, and how, because of their faithfulness to that mission, it has now been passed on to us. Father Joshua found particular inspiration in the final Mission: Impossible Movie that just hit theatres. (Don't worry, no spoilers here!) Critically, as we prepare for Pentecost next weekend, we are invited to call upon the Holy Spirit, so that strengthened like the Apostles...

He Longs to Be Present to Us | Dcn. Peter Randolph
In this homily, given on May 25, 2025, Dcn. Peter preaches about God's desire to be present to us. Jesus promises to dwell within us, and salvation history demonstrates that God's desire has been to draw near to us, even when we reject Him. If God wants to dwell in us, what does that look like? Jesus linked His indwelling with keeping His Word, so Dcn. Peter invites the congregation to read the daily Mass readings and ask the Holy Spirit to teach them what it looks like to live constantly in ...
