Hamden Catholic Homily: February 8, 2026

Today is February 8, 2026, the 5th Sunday in Ordinary Time. Our celebrants were Fr. Lee Hellwig and Deacon Dominic Corraro.Jesus doesn’t say we might become salt and light someday - He says we are. Salt preserves and brings flavor. Light brightens even the darkest room.When our lives are shaped by the Beatitudes, we help preserve what is best in the world and add a little divine flavor where it’s needed most. And when we let our light shine through love, mercy, and good works, others glimpse God’s presence through us.Permission to stream the music in this service obtained from ONE LICENSE with license # A-735133.
