As we begin our Lenten journey, Fr. Tom and Avery start a study of Paul's Letter to the Ephesians. Every week they will cover one chapter and discuss how Paul is speaking to us today, and specifically his call during this Lenten season.
The first chapter of Ephesians reminds us of our call to holiness and God's incredible generosity to us. He invites us to pray for the righteousness of others and to live out the blessings of God.
Join us every Friday this Lenten season as we continue to study the Letter to the Ephesians and dive deeper!

This episode was recorded in November of 2021, but in it, Fr. Tom and Avery discuss the beauty and absolute need for silence, stillness, and solitude in the Christian life.
Our souls long for quiet intimacy with the Lord, but the noise of this world often consumes us. So we dive deep into what this means, why it is so essential in the Christian Life, and how we can live out these "Three S's."
On the last day of 2021, Fr. Tom and Avery share their "words of the year" and resolutions for 2022!
The word of the year is an anchor and a lighthouse as we navigate the upcoming year! In addition, resolutions allow us to overcome vice and grow in virtue!
This 2022 we challenge you all to pray and ponder on a word of the year, or to select some resolutions that will help you grow in 2022!
May God bless you all in this new year and allow it to be full of new life and new graces at every moment!
Fr. Tom and I wanted to extend a message of Christmas joy, love, and peace to all our parishioners.
We pray the scene of the nativity is one that reminds you of the endless love our Father in heaven has for each one of us. May this Christmas be a time of rest, prayer, and joy for each and every one of you.
