December 1, 2018

Dear parishioners,   These beautiful words are the first verse of what is called “The Canticle of Zechariah”. It is the jubilant canticle that issues forth from him after his […]

“WORTHY IS THE LAMB WHO WAS SLAIN TO RECEIVE POWER AND WISDOM AND STRENGTH AND HONOUR” REV 5,12 – Pastor’s Corner – November 25 2018

November 25, 2018

November 17, 2018

Dear parishioners,   I’d like to devote the pastor’s corner this week to Development and Peace’s fall campaign. Last Sunday, you saw the video and received information on this year’s […]

November 2, 2018

Dear parishioners,   I find it wonderfully providential that we celebrated our Parish Gala dinner last Friday on the Feast of the Faithful Departed. Even as we gather today, two […]

“THE LORD HAS DONE GREAT THINGS FOR US, AND WE REJOICED.” PS 126 – Pastor’s Corner – Oct 28 2018

October 27, 2018

Dear parishioners,   There is so much anticipation of joy in today’s first reading and psalm. An anticipation that must have boosted immensely the hope of the Israelites in exile, […]

“THE SON OF MAN CAME…TO GIVE HIS LIFE AS A RANSOM FOR MANY.” MK 10,45 – Pastor’s Corner – Oct 21 2018

October 20, 2018

“I ACCOUNTED WEALTH AS NOTHING IN COMPARISON WITH WISDOM.” WIS 7,8 – Pastor’s Corner – October 14 2018

October 12, 2018

Dear parishioners,   Today’s first reading celebrates the superiority of wisdom above all things. As it happens, we have a precious nugget of wisdom in today’s gospel, in Jesus’ teaching, […]

“SO THEY ARE NO LONGER TWO, BUT ONE FLESH.” MK 10,8 – Pastor’s Corner – October 7 2018

October 6, 2018

Dear parishioners,   Today’s readings are a celebration of the deeply beautiful mystery of marriage. When I first became pastor at St. Mary’s in 1999, I had never been in […]
