In an attempt to get back to using this blog more, here’s something that some of my followers might find useful – my schedule for weekend Masses in February. This is always subject to change.

February 22 – St Richard, Richland Twp., 5 PM

February 23 – St Richard, Richland Twp., 7:30 AM & 10 AM

My final (Sunday) Mass as pastor of Christ the Divine Shepherd Parish. As some may have heard, I’ve been appointed as Episcopal Vicar for Clergy and Consecrated Life. So I won’t have a steady gig on Sunday anymore; I’ll be floating around to various parishes. Once I get a little more settled in, I’ll try to figure out a way to post more content. Stay tuned.

I didn’t think this was anything special, but I’ve been told otherwise. You be the judge.

Haven’t posted in a while, I know, but the schedule’s just sort of aligned itself so that I haven’t had a livestreamed Mass. What can I say, stuff happens. But sometimes stuff also happens that is good. Case in point, we made a last-minute decision to stream the Vigil Mass for Pentecost. We did the extended form of the vigil, and brought in the choir and some brass players to make it really special. Turns out it’s a good thing we did; the livestream for the 9:00 Mass (which I also had) failed, for whatever reason.

I liked both homilies, but I think this one was a little better. Besides, there’s a good chance you’ve heard the 9:00 before, at least in part. So, without further ado…

Also First Holy Communion.

Is it me, or does the Easter candle kind of obscure whomever is at the ambo? Or maybe that’s just a profound reflection on our identity as Christians…

I am waaaay behind on posting, but I’m about to fix that.

Here’s the Second Sunday of Easter, aka Divine Mercy Sunday. We almost forgot to put the camera up, so we pick up after the opening hymn, just in time for the sprinkling rite.

How did I forget to post this? My bad.

I’m a little late in getting this posted, and I’m also just realizing it’s been a while since I had a live-streamed homily… anyway, here’s Palm Sunday. We did the solemn entrance at the beginning and I wasn’t wearing a microphone, so you probably can’t hear any of it. I kept the homily short because of the reading of the Passion, but I think it was thought-provoking.
