Dear Parishioners, It is good to be back from my Italian walking pilgrimage. It was a fun with a lot of rich experiences. Over time I will share some of what I experiences and perhaps in the Spring I will do a slide show for Faith Night on my pilgrimage. I have a lot of beautiful pictures from where we walked and the churches we visited in Tuscany. Thanks for being patient with the masses I need to cancel. I am ready to get back into things. This weekend we are celebrating the Feast of Christ the King. It brings us to the close of the Liturgical Year. Next weekend we will begin Advent which is the start to Liturgical Year appropriately preparing us birth of Our Lord at Christmas. The Liturgical Seasons are rich as they take us through the main mysteries of our Faith. (Click here for more)

The cycle of seasons takes us through the Paschal Mystery, the mystery of Christ’s death and resurrection. Our Lords body was cold and lifeless in the tomb and it came back to full life never to die again. This mystery and the hope of our own bodily resurrection, is extended to us through our own baptism into Christ. (click for more)

To think about the gift of life itself, where it came from and where it is going. (Click to read more)
