In today's homily, Monsignor Magee looks at the words of today's gospel, and reminds us that being God's chosen people does not mean standing above and against others, looking down on them. On the contrary, It means being chosen by Him to be a light to the others. Listen to this week's homily, and see what the Lord is saying to your heart. Please share this podcast with someone, and have a blessed week.

Today, the Catholic Church celebrates the Solemnity of Corpus Christi. which means the body and blood of our Lord Jesus Christ. Monsignor Magee shares some powerful insights about this feast, which is at the core of our Catholic faith. At every Mass, the priest says the exact words that Jesus himself used at the last supper. Jesus gives Himself to each and everyone of us, so He can live inside us, and when we see each other, we can see Jesus himself! We believe that Jesus is truly present in the Eucharist, and not merely a symbol as some of our Protestant friends. Please listen to this excellent Podcast, and share this with a friend. Have a blessed week!!

In today's homily, Deacon Mace shares his thoughts on the Mystery of the Blessed Trinity, one God in three divine persons.

In today's homily, Father Alex Pancoast shares his insights about the great feast of Pentecost, the "birthday" of the church. He reminds us that the mission of the church is to go, evangelize, and bring Christ to all of the nations. This isn't a job  just for priests and religious, but for each and every one of us. The Holy Spirit comes to us in Baptism, and is strengthened in us in Confirmation. We are all called to proclaim Christ to the nations. Father poses the question "Are we a keeper of an aquarium, or are we a fisher of men?" Listen to this thoughtful podcast, and ask yourself what is the Lord speaking to your heart today. As always, please share this podcast with someone, and have a blessed week!!

Today, we listen as Msgr. McCormac remembers his own priestly ordination forty-six years ago. After attending the ordination Mass at the Cathedral of Saints Peter and Paul yesterday (May 16, 2026), he began thinking about his own ordination day, and shares some personal reflections with all of us. One very special request he made to God that day was that the Lord put him in places and parishes where the parishioners truly want to celebrate the Eucharist. He expresses his gratitude to God and to all of us, his parishioners. Please listen to this very personal reflection from Msgr. McCormac, and please leave him your prayer and good wishes as he marks forty-six years as a priest. 

Happy Mother's Day!! Msgr. Magee shares some beautiful insights about Mother's Day with us.

He continues on by tying his message about what a special gift that mothers are into today's Gospel reading. Listen to today's homily, and the rest of today's message.

In today's homily, Msgr. McCormac reminds us how Jesus is preparing his disciples as He prepares to return to heaven at the right hand of His father. He tells them "do not let your hearts be troubled", and that he was going to prepare a place for them, and that He would come back and take them to Himself. He also reminds them that He was the way to the Father, if they knew Him, then they knew the Father. We too, must come to know Jesus, our way to the Father. How are we to do that? By reading the bible, coming to Mass, and the Sacraments, especially, the Eucharist. Listen to Msgr. McCormac's homily, and reflect on his message. What is Jesus trying to tell you?

Listen to Msgr. McCormac's Homily delivered at Rick's funeral Mass on Tuesday, April 21, 2026.

Here is the Eulogy presented by Rick Tralies's son Rick, Jr, and his daughter Sharon.

In today's homily, Msgr. Magee tells us that, after His resurrection, Jesus presents Himself to the apostles through many proofs. The first being that He appeared to them, He ate and drank with them, and continued to give them directions for following Him. When Jesus speaks to Thomas "blessed are those who have not seen, but believe", He is referring to all of us throughout time, meaning you and I who would come to know Jesus as alive, not from seeing Him outside of ourselves, but from experiencing His living presence, His transformative power, withing ourselves. Please reflect on this excellent homily, and share it with a friend. Have a blessed week!!

In today's Easter Homily, Msgr. McCormac discusses the phrase SEE SOMETHING, SAY SOMETHING. He suggests the importance of this idea for our welfare, and the welfare of others. He ties it into the story of the Resurrection. Those who were first to discover that the tomb was empty that first Easter morning told others about it. Those people then told even more the story of Jesus's rising from the dead. The story has been repeated through the years, until our current time. We owe our faith to those who have passed it down through the ages. Monsignor then poses the question - - are we sharing the faith, within our family and in our church? Though many Catholics may be reluctant to do that, that is what we are called to do. Monsignor's message is clear, we must witness to our faith. Have a Blessed Easter Season!!

In his homily, Msgr. Magee reflects on today's Gospel, which is the reading of the Passion and Death of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. As we begin this most sacred week that we call Holy Week, let us reflect and be grateful for the salvation won for us by Jesus on the cross. Please share this important message, and allow our Lord to speak to your heart. Remember that we will celebrate the Evening Mass of the Lord's Supper on Thursday at 7:30 PM, the Celebration of the Lord's Passion on Good Friday at 7:30 PM, and Easter Vigil Mass on Holy Saturday at 7:30 PM. For Easter Sunday, we will follow our normal Sunday Schedule with Mass at 7:00 AM, 9:00 AM and 11:00 AM. Have a Blessed Holy Week!!

In today's Homily, Deacon Bradley Moss reminds us of Jesus's message of "trust me, I know what I am doing". He proves His power to a skeptical crowd when he calls in to his friend, Lazarus, who has been dead for four days, and and says, "Lazarus, come out. Death, release my friend". In doing so, He shows how he has come to earth to conquer all things, even death. This precursor victory over death is a prelude to His ultimate victory over death, and his resurrection on Easter Sunday! Listen to this excellent lenten reflection by Deacon Moss, and share it with a family member or a friend. Have a Blessed Week!!

Deacon Bradley Moss preached this homily on the weekend of March 7/8 at the 5:30 PM and 7:00 AM Masses. Unfortunately, these are not live streamed Masses, so there was no recording of this homily.  So, by popular demand, Deacon Bradley Moss was asked to re-record this homily for this podcast, which he has graciously done for us. Listen and ask yourself what the Lord is saying to you. Thank you Deacon Moss for taking the time to make this recording for the people of St. Frances Cabrini parish.

In today's Gospel, we are told about the blind man that Jesus encounters. Jesus smears clay on the eyes of the blind man, and tells him to go into the pool and get washed. He listened and followed the command of Jesus, and he was healed. Msgr McCormac reminds us that our Lord wants to do the same for us. He wants to encounter us, have us follow His ways, and experience the depth of His love. Listen to this wonderful homily, and ponder what the Lord is trying to say to you today. Please share this Podcast, and have a Blessed Week!!

In today's homily, Msgr. Magee helps us understand the gospel meaning of the Samaritan woman at the well. Jesus meets this woman at the well, and tells her that he can quench the burning thirst she had for true love, in a way that five failed marriages and one cohabitation could never come close to doing. In their brief encounter, she comes to realize that He know everything about her, and that here was "Love" in person, asking her to be HIS, in a way that she never imagined could fill so many needs in her. Listen to this podcast again, and see what our Lord is saying to you. Have a Blessed Week!!

Today's gospel reading describes the Transfiguration of our Lord, where Jesus revealed his divine glory to Peter, James, and John on Mt. Tabor, appearing with Moses and Elijah and transforming with a dazzling, white radiance. Msgr. McCormac creates a wonderful analogy to help us to understand what Jesus is doing. He suggests that Jesus is trying to give his apostles a glimpse of the glory that He will return to, and that we will inherit one day. It is seen as a "vision of hope" that connects the suffering of the cross with the glory of the resurrection. Please listen to this homily again, and allow the words to touch your hearts. As always, please share this podcast with someone who may benefit from hearing it. Have a blessed week!!

In today's gospel, Msgr. Magee reminds us that Jesus allowed Himself to be tempted by the devil, and set an example for us, His sons and daughters on how to fight temptation. Though He was infinite, he took on our limitations. Though he was all powerful, he took on our powerlessness. By choosing to become a man, he was freely experiencing how we make decisions, and experiencing our struggle every step of the way. Listen again to this excellent reflection by Msgr. Magee, as we begin our forty day journey through lent. Please share this podcast with someone, and have a blessed week.+

In today's homily, Msgr. McCormac explains how Jesus expands on His previous teachings. For example, thou shalt not kill expands to include anger between people, especially in families, and thou shalt not commit adultery expands to include looking at a man or woman with lust. He reminds us that "a little white lie" is not from God, and should be avoided. All of these commands must be taken into our hearts, and become a part of the fabric of our lives. The Lord has given us a free will, and He wants us to choose Him, every time, by choosing His teachings and making them a part of our lives. Have a Blessed Week!!

in today's homily, Deacon Bradley Moss reminds us of Jesus's message to us, that we are to be a "light to the world". We must ask ourselves how do we shine for others to see, or do we keep our light under a bushel. If we tuck Jesus away in a corner of our heart, the light of Christ is not able to light up much of ourselves. By putting Christ first in our lives, our light can shine for our families, our jobs, and in our daily duties. Listen to the words of today's homily, and ask yourself what is God saying to you. Please share this Podcast, and have a blessed week.

In today's homily, Msgr. Magee focuses on the Beatitudes, found in the gospel for the fourth Sunday of Ordinary Time. He tells us that the Beatitudes are not a list of rules, but more like a treasure map, telling us where happiness can be found. The Beatitudes call us to the heights of morality and holiness. Those who live according to these divine precepts are blessed beyond measure. The promises to those who live this high calling are great: They become children of God and inherit the Kingdom of Heaven. Please listen to today's Podcast, and if you got something out of it, share it with a friend or neighbor. Have a Blessed Week.
