Sunday's Homily Excerpt -

Brothers and sisters, fellow Jesus followers, with the resurrection in the center of your hearts, I encourage you to every day decide to walk in the light and to follow Jesus. To go out into the community, transformed by the resurrection of Jesus and in your own way, to go and to tell that Christ is Risen, being full of good works always remembering, You are the light of the world, let your light shine.” Dn. Joseph Ray, July 13, 2025-
