Hamden Catholic Homily: January 18, 2026

Today is January 18, 2026, the 2nd Sunday in Ordinary Time. Our celebrants were Fr. Gustavo Lopez and Deacon Ronald Gurr.We’re all given a role by God, just as Isaiah, Paul, and John the Baptist each lived out theirs. Today’s homily invites us to pause, listen, and discern what God may be asking of us right now. When we lean in, listen, and learn, we become more aware of the small, everyday opportunities to live with holiness, love, and faith, and to be a light to the world right where we are. Whether you’re a student helping a classmate, a young adult making big life decisions, or a senior looking out for a neighbor - God has a mission tailored just for you.Permission to stream the music in this service obtained from ONE LICENSE with license # A-735133.
