Today is September 6, 2026 - the 23rd Sunday in Ordinary Time. Our celebrants were Fr. Gustavo Lopez and Deacon Ronald Gurr.If we want to experience the abundant life Jesus offers, we are called to love our neighbors as ourselves. But true love isn't just a feeling; it’s a responsibility to see each other clearly and help one another walk toward God. In his homily, Fr. Lopez highlights how genuine love requires seeing others not just with affection, but as individuals entrusted to our care.Permission to stream the music in this service obtained from ONE LICENSE with license # A-735133.

Today is August 30, 2026 - the 22nd Sunday in Ordinary Time. Our celebrants were Fr. Lee Hellwig and Deacon Dominic Corraro.What does God want of me? It’s one of the most fundamental questions of the Christian life, yet doing God’s will doesn’t always come easy to us.In the Gospels, even Peter - the rock upon which the Church was built - struggled to align his way of thinking with God’s plan. Loving Jesus meant wanting to protect Him from suffering, but Jesus reminded Peter that the path of true faithfulness required taking up the cross.Following God often asks us to step out of alignment with the ways of the world and embrace self-renunciation. But we aren’t left to climb that steep mountain alone. Just like the prophet Jeremiah, we have a fire burning in our hearts - the Holy Spirit - empowering us to follow Christ even when the cost is high. When we stay faithful to that inner fire, we don't lose ourselves..., we discover who God created us to be.Permission to stream the music in this service obtained from ONE LICENSE with license # A-735133.

Today is August 23, 2026 - the 21st Sunday in Ordinary Time. Our celebrant was Fr. Christopher Tiano.In his homily, Fr. Tiano addresses the statement, "I'm not religious, I'm spiritual," commonly heard from friends, family, and loved ones. He explores what people truly mean when they say this - often a desire for a relationship with God without the structure of the "church stuff" - and introduces why this perspective misses the deeper meaning and origin of the Church.Permission to stream the music in this service obtained from ONE LICENSE with license # A-735133.

Today is August 9, 2026 - the 19th Sunday in Ordinary Time. Our celebrants were Fr. Gustavo Lopez and Deacon Joe Ryzweski.In this homily excerpt, the speaker reflects on how God reveals His presence in our lives - not always in dramatic ways, but often in a gentle whisper, amidst life’s storms, and through a saving hand. Drawing from the story of Elijah, the writings of Paul, and the Gospel account of Jesus walking on water, this message encourages us to meet fear with faith and trust in Christ’s constant presence.Permission to stream the music in this service obtained from ONE LICENSE with license # A-735133.

Today is August 2, 2026 - the 18th Sunday in Ordinary Time. Our celebrants were Fr. Christopher Tiano and Deacon Ronald Gurr.Sunday meals are about so much more than just the food on the table - they’re a time to gather, give thanks, and celebrate God’s provision. From family traditions like "Sunday Sauce" to the miraculous multiplication of the loaves and fishes, scripture shows us the incredible power of shared meals and the enduring grace of the Eucharist. When we gather with open hearts, God nourishes both our bodies and our souls.Permission to stream the music in this service obtained from ONE LICENSE with license # A-735133. All rights reserved.

Today is July 26, 2026 - the 17th Sunday in Ordinary Time. Our celebrants were Fr. Lee Hellwig and Deacon Dominic Corraro.Drawing a parallel to the unexpected discoveries on Antiques Roadshow, today's homily explores the Gospel parables of the hidden treasure and the pearl of great price. Fr. Hellwig reflects on how we come to recognize Jesus as life's supreme treasure - whether we stumble upon Him unexpectedly like St. Paul or discover Him after a long journey of searching like Zacchaeus. Ultimately, the message reassures us that no matter how we find Him, the Lord is always actively seeking us out.Permission to stream the music in this service obtained from ONE LICENSE with license # A-735133.

Today is July 12, 2026 - the 15th Sunday in Ordinary Time. Our celebrants were Fr. Lee Hellwig and Deacon Joe Ryzweski.This week's homily reflects on the Parable of the Sower and on the sowers of faith in our own lives. Shared following his 40th anniversary of ordination, Fr. Hellwig's message reminds us that God scatters the seed of His word generously and without condition, regardless of the soil it falls on. Drawing connections to Isaiah and St. Paul's letter to the Romans, this homily offers a message of hope for times of doubt, loss, or discouragement within the Church, reminding us that God never stops sowing, and that even a small, open heart can yield a great harvest.Permission to stream the music in this service obtained from ONE LICENSE with license # A-735133.

Today is July 5, 2026 - the 14th Sunday in Ordinary Time. Our celebrants were Fr. Gustavo Lopez and Deacon Ronald Gurr.This week's readings reveal a Messiah unlike any earthly conqueror - meek, just, and victorious, riding not into battle but on a humble donkey. Drawing from the prophet Zechariah and Christ's own words in the Gospel - "Come to me, all who are burdened...", - this homily explores how true victory comes through humility, not force, and how the Holy Spirit, given to us at baptism, is a gift too many of us leave "in the wrap."Permission to stream the music in this service obtained from ONE LICENSE with license # A-735133.

In today's Gospel, Jesus speaks words we all need to hear - "Do not be afraid." Not once, but three times because He knows how often we need reminding. Whatever fear you're carrying today about your past, your future, your struggles, or your worth, know that you are deeply known, deeply loved, and never alone. You are more than your mistakes. More than your fears. More than what the world sees. God knows every tear, every silent prayer, every burden you've carried alone. He even knows the number of hairs on your head - that's how deeply you are known. Whatever you're holding onto today, bring it to Him. He is not judging you. He is with you.

Today is June 14, 2026 - the 11th Sunday in Ordinary Time. Our celebrant was Fr. Christopher Tiano.In this Sunday's homily, Fr. Tiano reflects on one of the most freeing truths of the Christian faith: our salvation is not something we earn - it's something we receive. Drawing from St. Paul's Letter to the Romans, Fr. Tiano unpacks the difference between active and passive voice to reveal a profound spiritual insight: it is God who reconciles us, saves us, and loves us even when we are helpless, ungodly, sinners, and enemies of God. If you've ever heard that voice in your head telling you that you're not worthy of God's love, this homily is for you.Permission to stream the music in this service obtained from ONE LICENSE with license # A-735133.

Today is May 31, 2026 - the Feast of the Most Holy Trinity. Our celebrant was Monsignor Joseph Donnelly.Who is God? On the Feast of the Holy Trinity, we explore that timeless question through the story of Saint Augustine on the shore and what it means to stand before a sacred mystery too vast for any of us to fully grasp. Drawing on the three readings for today's feast, we trace our experience of God through Scripture: God the Father in the Old Testament, Jesus Christ in the Gospels, and the Holy Spirit alive in our lives today. God hasn't gone anywhere..., and chances are, you already know that.Permission to stream the music in this service obtained from ONE LICENSE with license # A-735133. All rights reserved.

Today is May 24, 2026 - Pentecost Sunday. Our celebrants were Fr. Gustavo Lopez and Deacon Dominic Carraro.As we celebrate Pentecost - the birthday of the Catholic Church - we reflect on the gift of the Holy Spirit and what it means for our lives today. Each of us has been given unique gifts from the same Spirit, and each of us is called to proclaim Jesus as Lord through our words, actions, and commitment to faith.Permission to stream the music in this service obtained from ONE LICENSE with license # A-735133.

Today is May 10, 2026 - the 6th Sunday of Easter. Our celebrants were Fr. Jorge Castro and Deacon Dominic Corraro.As we approach the end of the Easter season and draw near to Pentecost, this week's Gospel brings us a powerful and personal message from Jesus: "If you love me, keep my commandments."In today's homily, we reflect on what it truly means to love - not just in beautiful words or warm feelings, but in action, faithfulness, sacrifice, and humble service. Jesus also makes an extraordinary promise: He will not leave us as orphans. Through the gift of the Holy Spirit, He walks with us every day, strengthening our faith, granting us peace in the storms of life, and reminding us that we are never alone.We also pause to offer a special prayer of gratitude for all mothers - those with us today and those now in the presence of the Lord. A mother's love, patient and self-giving, reflects God's own faithful love that never abandons His children.Permission to stream the music in this service obtained from ONE LICENSE with license # A-735133.

Today is May 3, 2026, the 5th Sunday of Easter. Our celebrants were Fr. Matthew Schneider and Deacon Ronald Gurr.In this homily, Father reflects on our universal longing for "more" - more comfort, more security, more meaning - and asks the deeper question: what truly satisfies? Drawing from John's Gospel and Jesus' declaration "I am the way, the truth, and the life," this message explores how heaven isn't a distant place but a relationship with Jesus available to us right now, through prayer and the Eucharist. Featuring a reflection on prayer from 20th-century spiritual writer Catherine Dougherty, this homily invites us to move beyond seeing Christianity as a rulebook and into a living, loving experience of Jesus.Permission to stream the music in this service obtained from ONE LICENSE with license # A-735133.

Today is April 26, 2026, the 4th Sunday of Easter. Our celebrants were Fr. Jorge Castro and Deacon Dominic Carraro."The Lord is my shepherd. There is nothing I shall want."On the Fourth Sunday of Easter - Good Shepherd Sunday - we reflect on one of the most beloved images in all of Scripture: Jesus as the Good Shepherd, and we as the sheep of His flock.In today's homily, we explore what it truly means to follow Jesus with total faith and trust - drawing on the 23rd Psalm, the rich tradition of shepherds throughout Scripture, and a personal encounter with a shepherd and his flock in a small town in Italy.Permission to stream the music in this service obtained from ONE LICENSE with license # A-735133.

Today is April 19, 2026, the 3rd Sunday of Easter. Our celebrant was Fr. Lee Hellwig.Have you had your own Emmaus moment? That turning point when faith stops being something you practice and becomes something you live.Like the disciples on the road to Emmaus, we may begin confused, searching, and trying to make sense of things on our own. But when we invite the Lord to remain with us, our eyes are opened and our hearts begin to burn with a new awareness of His presence.And that experience isn’t meant to stay with us alone. Once we recognize Him, we are called to go out and share that faith with others.Permission to stream the music in this service obtained from ONE LICENSE with license # A-735133. All rights reserved.

Today is April 5, 2026, Easter Sunday! Our celebrants were Fr. Chris Tiano and Deacon Ronald Gurr.“I am forgotten, like the unremembered dead… I am like a dish that is broken.”It’s powerful imagery because in one way or another, we are all broken. But the message of Easter is that Christ doesn’t reject our brokenness - He embraces it. Through His death and resurrection, we are transformed from scattered shards into something beautiful, whole, and capable of reflecting His light to a world in need.We can’t fix every problem in the world, but we can control the small “hula hoop” of the world around us - our words, our kindness, our forgiveness. If each of us brings Christ’s light into that space, the world really can change… one person at a time.Permission to stream the music in this service obtained from ONE LICENSE with license # A-735133.

Today is March 8, 2026, the 3rd Sunday of Lent. Our celebrants were Fr. Lee Hellwig and Deacon Dominic Corraro.Jesus met the Samaritan woman in the ordinary moments of her day - at the well where she went to draw water. He met her not as she should have been, but exactly as she was: in her brokenness, hesitation, and resistance.The same is true for us. The Lord meets us in our daily lives and patiently offers the gift of “living water" - the Holy Spirit - the love and mercy of God that can transform our hearts.When we begin to receive that gift, our lives change. And like the woman at the well, we can help lead others to the Lord.Permission to stream the music in this service obtained from ONE LICENSE with license # A-735133. All rights reserved.

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.

Today is February 1, 2026, the 4th Sunday in Ordinary Time. Our celebrants were Fr. Chris Tiano and Deacon Ronald Gurr.In this homily, Fr. Tiano reflects on our complicated relationship with phones, comfort, and consumerism, and contrasts it with Jesus’ radical message in the Beatitudes. In a world that equates blessing with wealth, power, and the “latest iPhone,” Jesus points us in the opposite direction: toward poverty of spirit, mercy, humility, and our deep need for God.As Pope Francis reminds us, the Beatitudes are a Christian’s identity card. The question is simple..., and challenging: Do we live by the Beatitudes, or by the world?Permission to stream the music in this service obtained from ONE LICENSE with license # A-735133.

Today is January 25, 2026, the 3rd Sunday in Ordinary Time. Our celebrant was the Most Reverend Christopher J. Coyne, Archbishop of Hartford.From the first Mass in 1852 at a local home to the vibrant community of St. Paul VI Parish today, our history is written in the sacraments of the people of Hamden, Connecticut.In his homily, Archbishop Coyne reminds us that wherever you are in your journey, the call to holiness isn’t just for the “heroic” - it’s found in the simple, loving attention we give to God every day.We are a parish built on nearly 200 years of life, diversity, and faith. Whether your roots are at Our Lady of Mount Carmel, St. Rita, St. Stephen, or any of our founding churches, you are part of this beautiful story.Permission to stream the music in this service obtained from ONE LICENSE with license # A-735133.

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.

Today is January 11, 2026, the Baptism of the Lord. Our celebrant was Fr. Chris Tiano.What looks like a simple event - Jesus being baptized in the Jordan - is actually a profound theological mystery. It is the moment where the Trinity is revealed: the Father’s voice, the Son’s embrace of our humanity, and the descent of the Holy Spirit.In his homily, Fr. Tiano explores how Jesus receiving the Spirit wasn't for His benefit, but for ours. By entering the water, He gifted our human flesh with the Holy Spirit and set the stage for our own mission to be a light in the darkness.Permission to stream the music in this service obtained from ONE LICENSE with license # A-735133.

It’s easy to look at the world and see darkness in the headlines - war, poverty, and division. But what about the darkness that lives closer to home? The struggles of self-will, the feeling of being "cut off" from God, or the heavy fear of mortality.This Feast of the Epiphany, we reflect on how the Magi’s gifts aren't just historical tributes, but solutions for our modern-day shadows: Gold to crown Christ over our own self-will. Frankincense to remind us we are never unworthy or separate from God. Myrrh to transform our fear of death into the hope of resurrection.We aren't the source of the light, but like the moon, we are called to reflect the Light of Christ so the world may see His hope, His mercy, and His love through us.May we go forth and be the light in the darkness. 🕯️

Today is December 28, 2025, the celebration of the Holy Family of Jesus, Mary, and Joseph. Our celebrants were Fr. Chris Tiano and Deacon Dominic Corraro.The Holy Family wasn’t “perfect” because life was easy - they were perfect because they listened to God and said yes, even in the middle of hardship. Today’s homily reminds us that whether your family feels like a classic sitcom or is beautifully complicated and blended, God is present, calling us to listen and respond with love. Let’s take a moment today to pray for someone in our family and ask for the grace to be a light in their darkness.Permission to stream the music in this service obtained from ONE LICENSE with license # A-735133.

Today is December 21, 2025 - the 4th Sunday of Advent. Our celebrant was Fr. Christopher Tiano.We often think of Saint Joseph as a silent figure in the background of the Christmas story. But his "yes" was just as pivotal as Mary’s. St. Thomas Aquinas suggested that Joseph didn't want to leave Mary out of doubt, but out of humility. He felt unworthy of the massive task God set before him. Sound familiar?Whether you’re a new parent, starting a new job, or just trying to navigate a difficult season, we all face moments where we think, "I can't do this." Joseph shows us that God doesn't call the equipped; He equips the called.Permission to stream the music in this service obtained from ONE LICENSE with license # A-735133. All rights reserved.

Today is December 14, 2025 - the 3rd Sunday of Advent. Our celebrants were Fr. Lee Hellwig and Deacon Joseph Ryzewski.John the Baptist's story shows us that doubt and disappointment are part of the journey. From his prison cell, the prophet who once proclaimed with fire now wonders, “Is Jesus really the one?”Jesus' response? "Happy are the ones who did not lose faith in me." This Advent message reminds us that faith doesn’t mean never questioning - it means trusting that God is with us even in our darkest, most uncertain moments.Permission to stream the music in this service obtained from ONE LICENSE with license # A-735133.

Today is November 30, 2025, the 1st Sunday of Advent. Our celebrants were Fr. Lee Hellwig and Deacon Ronald Gurr.Today we begin a new liturgical year and the short but meaningful season of Advent.Advent is more than just a countdown to Christmas; it is a journey toward the light. In the midst of a darkening world, we light the first candle and remember that the Lord is not hiding from us. He is always moving toward us, just as we strive to move toward Him.In the rush of the season, let us hold tight to the ancient prayer, “Come, Lord Jesus.” May this season help us walk in His light, seek His peace, and move toward Him each day.Permission to stream the music in this service obtained from ONE LICENSE with license # A-735133.

Today is November 16, 2025, the 33rd Sunday in Ordinary Time. Our celebrants were Fr. Chris Tiano and Deacon Joseph Ryzewski.The Temple shaped the faith of Israel. It was a place of sacrifice, gathering, and God’s presence. In Luke’s Gospel, Jesus steps into that story and fulfills it. Today, He is our gathering place. He is our sacrifice. He is with us. As we reflect on the "end times” readings of this season, we do so not with fear, but with trust because Christ gathers us, redeems us, and makes us one people in Him.Permission to stream the music in this service obtained from ONE LICENSE with license # A-735133.

Today is November 2, 2025, the Commemoration of All the Faithful Departed. Our celebrants were Fr. Chris Tiano and Deacon Ronald Gurr.In his All Souls Day homily, Father shares a poignant childhood memory of losing a beloved “Grandma Mongillo,” reminding us that even though loss is never easy and we’ll always miss those we love, our faith offers a profound promise: death is not the end.Scripture tells us “the souls of the just are in the hands of God,” and through Christ’s resurrection, we are promised eternal life. We are made for eternity, and in that promise we find hope, peace, and the assurance that love endures beyond the grave.Permission to stream the music in this service obtained from ONE LICENSE with license # A-735133.

Today is October 12, 2025, the 28th Sunday in Ordinary Time. Our celebrants were Fr. Lee Hellwig and Deacon Dominic Corraro.In this weekend’s homily, we were reminded that faith begins in our willingness to approach Jesus, even in moments of pain, alienation, or despair. The lepers in today’s Gospel didn’t demand healing; they simply asked for mercy. Their faith wasn’t just in being cured, but in trusting God’s will.Can we do the same? Can we say “Your will be done” when we face illness, misunderstanding, or spiritual struggle? When we approach the Lord with faith and humility, He meets us with mercy, healing, and salvation.Permission to stream the music in this service obtained from ONE LICENSE with license # A-735133.

Today is October 5, 2025, the 27th Sunday in Ordinary Time. Our celebrants were Fr. Christopher Tiano and Deacon Dominic Corraro.Did you catch Father Tiano's inspiring homily this weekend? He challenged us to think about how we, as a Church, adapt to a changing world while staying true to our core mission: evangelization.He highlighted three key takeaways for our parish's pastoral plan:• Acknowledge the Holy Spirit's power within us.•Remember the Church's purpose is to evangelize.• Embrace our call to leadership in living out our faith.A beautiful reminder that our faith isn't just for us, but for sharing!

Today is September 28, 2025, the 26th Sunday in Ordinary Time. Our celebrant was Fr. Lee Hellwig.This week, Father Hellwig challenged us to reflect on the dangers of complacency in our faith. From Amos’ warning to those “complacent in Zion” to Jesus’ parable of the rich man and Lazarus, we were reminded that the greatest sin is often not what we do, but what we fail to do. The rich man’s downfall came from ignoring Lazarus at his very gate.St. Paul urges us to “fight the good fight of faith” - to actively pursue righteousness, devotion, and love. Father Hellwig reminded us that true faith isn’t passive; it requires action, compassion, and responsibility.Each of us is called to respond to the needs around us, not waiting for others or larger systems to step in. Faith comes alive when we move beyond words and into loving action. Let us not be complacent, but courageous and compassionate, serving those nearest to us.Permission to stream the music in this service obtained from ONE LICENSE with license # A-735133.

Today is September 21, 2025, the 25th Sunday in Ordinary Time. Our celebrants were Fr. Lee Hellwig and Deacon Dominic Corraro.Deacon Corraro's homily shared the poignant story of Steve Jobs, who, despite immense material wealth, found it all meaningless at the end of his life. It's a powerful reminder of the Gospel's truth: "You cannot serve both God and mammon." So often, we chase after things, forgetting that real wealth lies in our spiritual journey, our acts of charity, and the love we share. Let's remember that money is a tool, not a master, and true riches are found in our relationship with Jesus, our faith, and our loved ones.Permission to stream the music in this service obtained from ONE LICENSE with license # A-735133.

Today is September 7, 2025, the 23rd Sunday in Ordinary Time. Our celebrants were Fr. Christopher Tiano and Deacon Dominic Corraro.In his homily, Father Tiano discusses how Jesus uses hyperbole to teach us about discipleship. He explores three key invitations from the Gospel: putting Jesus first, taking up our own cross, and renouncing possessions. Father Tiano reminds us that true discipleship means prioritizing our relationship with Christ, uniting our sufferings with his, and examining whether our possessions truly possess us.Permission to stream the music in this service obtained from ONE LICENSE with license # A-735133.

Today is August 24, 2025, the 21st Sunday in Ordinary Time. Our celebrants were Fr. Lee Hellwig and Deacon Dominic Corraro.This weekend we welcomed Rev. Abraham Lukose, who spoke on behalf of the Diocese of Parassala, one of the newest and most impoverished dioceses in South India. The diocese's priority is a three-year residential program for 20 girls from poor families, preparing them for nursing careers through secondary schooling, English and German language training, and personal formation. Your generosity will help transform their lives and provide hope for a brighter future.

Today is August 17, 2025, the 20th Sunday in Ordinary Time. Our celebrants were Fr. Lee Hellwig and Deacon Ronald Gurr.Today's homily dives deep into some powerful truths. It reminds us that Jesus's kingship wasn't about earthly power, but about the ultimate act of love - the crucifixion. It also explores the idea of the Holy Spirit as a refining fire and the "baptism of anguish" that Jesus underwent. The message is clear: there's a cost to our faith, and loyalty to Christ must come before all else.Permission to stream the music in this service obtained from ONE LICENSE with license # A-735133.

Today is August 10, 2025, the 19th Sunday in Ordinary Time. Our celebrants were Fr. Christopher Tiano and Deacon Dominic Corraro.In his homily, Father shares how a childhood trip to the Dachau concentration camp - where over 1,000 Catholic priests died for their faith - inspired his own calling to the priesthood. Years later, he learned his father, a quiet WWII veteran, was among those who liberated the camp.He connects his father's sacrifice and the heroism of the priests at the camp to the gospel message, reminding us that with great blessings comes a great responsibility to share the Gospel and serve others. That gift of faith and freedom, he says, comes with a responsibility: to proclaim Jesus, serve the poor, and become the people God calls us to be.Permission to stream the music in this service obtained from ONE LICENSE with license # A-735133.

Today is August 3, 2025, the 18th Sunday in Ordinary Time. Our celebrants were Fr. Lee Hellwig and Deacon Ronald Gurr.Father Hellwig delivered a powerful homily on the importance of making a will as an act of responsible adulthood and a reflection of what truly matters to us. He also offered a timely warning against the dangers of greed, urging us instead to embrace generosity and become "rich in the sight of God." Father warned of greed’s grip: the rich man hoarded, obsessed with “my barn, my grain, my goods”, and forgot what truly matters. Let’s live with intention, give with grace, and leave a legacy of love.Permission to stream the music in this service obtained from ONE LICENSE with license # A-735133. All rights reserved.

Today is April 20, 2025, the 2nd Sunday of Easter. Our celebrants were Fr. Chris Tiano and Deacon Dominic Corraro. In a world full of change, our faith remains a constant anchor.This week’s homily reflected on Doubting Thomas — and reminded us that even the apostles struggled with doubt..., even after seeing the risen Lord!But doubt isn’t the end of the story. It's an invitation to deeper faith, to joy, and to mission. Inspired by Pope Francis, we are called to be a missionary Church — not focused on self-preservation, but on sharing the Good News with boldness and love.Our faith should radiate JOY — the kind that comes from experiencing God's mercy and forgiveness firsthand.Divine Mercy is not something we earn... it’s a gift, freely given through Jesus’ sacrifice. Let's live it, share it, and rejoice in it.Permission to stream the music in this service obtained from ONE LICENSE with license # A-735133. All rights reserved.
