Finding Light When Darkness Creeps In

Father Shawn McCain Tirres | May 03, 2026 Life doesn't pause for Easter—diagnoses still come, bills still overwhelm, relationships still fracture, and institutions still fail us. Father Shawn explores how Stephen's stoning reveals a stunning truth: in our worst moments, when darkness creeps in like a Tuesday afternoon, God makes a way forward we can't yet see. This sermon confronts the real weight of despair while calling us into the diaconal work of serving the vulnerable and speaking up for justice, not as good deeds to earn God's favor, but as evidence that the Father's house has already been built in us. --- We are a community of believers committed to growing in faith and sharing God's love.
