    Fr. Simon's Letter - October 1, 2023
    One of the deepest desires of the human heart is to discover our identity. So often, as a society and as individuals, we identify ourselves by what we do. We base our worth on how productive we are at work or at home, and we determine our lives to be more or less good depending on the degree of our independence or pleasure. We may even begin to believe that if our lives, or the lives of others, don’t “measure up” to a certain standard, they are somehow less valuable or less worth living.

    Fr. Simon's Letter - September 24, 2023
    True to last year’s script, our “Mass on the Field’ and Oktoberfest experienced rain showers, preventing us from being outside. Yet, in a flash, the ever-resourceful and quick-thinking members of the Men’s Club moved the entire operation into the cafeteria, gym and Parish Center. We celebrated the Eucharist in our beautiful basilica and enjoyed food in the cafeteria and Parish Center.

    Fr. Simon's Letter - September 10, 2023
    Come to me all you who labor and are burdened. (Matthew 11:28)... This scripture quotation from St. Matthew is the theme for Catechetical Sunday this year. The United States Conference of Catholic Bishops has designated the third Sunday in September as Catechetical Sunday. However, since we have our ‘Mass on the Field’ next Sunday, we will observe and celebrate the gift of our faith and our mission to share the Good News this weekend.
