When Saying Yes Isn't Enough

Father Scott Madison | September 27, 2026 A powerful reflection on the gap between our words and actions, sparked by a personal failure to stop and help when debris scattered across a highway. Through Jesus's parable of two sons, this sermon confronts our tendency to say yes while meaning no—and challenges us to respond to injustice in our own neighborhoods. The shooting of Wilber Rafael Garces Perez by ICE agents just three miles away becomes a urgent call to honor our baptismal covenant and stand up for the vulnerable, even when it's uncomfortable. --- We are a community of believers committed to growing in faith and sharing God's love.
