Sunday's Homily Excerpt -

Christianity is not a religion of rules, of rights and wrongs and of rigid requirements. It is a relationship of love – love of God and of neighbor, ringing with the joy of the resurrection of Jesus Christ, Who has loved us and come to us, and granted us eternal life.'” - Fr. Marc Dunaway, April 19, 2026-

"One Accord"

Excerpts from Christian writers Past and Present

“What else does this craving, and this helplessness, proclaim but that there was once in man a true happiness, of which all that now remains is the empty print and trace? This he tries in vain to fill with everything around him, seeking in things that are not there the help he cannot find in those that are, though none can help, since this infinite abyss can be filled only with an infinite and immutable object; in other words by God himself.”. - Blaise Pascal from Pensees.
