October speaker series, Blessing of the Animals, Blood drive

My friends in Christ,

I, Fr. Jared, and Fr. Jacob, just returned from the Priestly Convocation. Every two years, the priests of the Archdiocese convene for what is part retreat, part professional development. It's a wonderful opportunity for us to pray together, rest together, and learn together as priests. Thank you for your patience this week while we were away.

Yours in Christ,
Monsignor Mc

What Does It Mean to be Catholic Today?

October 5-6 • After 12:10 PM and 7:00 PM.

Fr. Thomas McCarthy, an Augustinian priest and friend of His Holiness Pope Leo XIV, presents a two-day mission exploring how to be Catholic in today's world. He'll talk about the saints and how we can become one, how God listens to us in prayer, and how to build up our parish family. Pick from either a midday or evening session each day, after the 12:10 PM Mass or at 7:00 PM. Monday's evening session includes Confessions; Tuesday's evening session includes Mass.

The Promise of Christian-Jewish Friendship

At a moment when antisemitism is rising at alarming levels and divisions between communities too often deepen misunderstanding and fear, this panel conversation seeks to offer something different: an opportunity for honest dialogue, shared learning, and relationship-building rooted in mutual respect and moral courage.
