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.

Eric Zuniga and Deacon Ronald Gurr.Have you ever thought about how the Resurrection changed everything?This week's homily reflects on the greatest event in history — the Resurrection of Jesus — and how it completely transformed the lives of the disciples. What once brought fear and sorrow became a source of courage, purpose, and overwhelming joy.We also take a moment to look at why we worship on Sundays. It's more than tradition — it's a celebration of the new covenant, made possible through the Resurrection.Most of all, the Resurrection is our reminder that death is not the end. It's a beginning. A promise. A gateway to eternal life.Permission to stream the music in this service obtained from ONE LICENSE with license # A-735133. All rights reserved.

Archbishop Christopher J. Coyne's presentation was more than just words—it was a heartfelt reminder that hope is not optional for Christians; it's essential.Archbishop Coyne's talk started with a chuckle (and the wrong jacket ), but quickly drew us into something deeper: a call to reclaim Christian hope in a world that often feels hopeless.“Always be ready to give an explanation to anyone who asks you for a reason for your hope.” – 1 Peter 3:15Referencing Pope Francis' powerful words in On Hope, the Archbishop explored how modern challenges—like declining birth rates and cultural discouragement—stem from a loss of belief in the goodness of life itself.But as Christians, we are called to more. To live as people of hope. Not wishful thinking or blind optimism—but a hope rooted in God's promises, shared through community, and sustained by prayer, service, and love.Hope grows when we:• Forgive, even when it's hard• Accompany each other in struggle• Choose joy amid uncertainty• Build bridges, not wallsLet's be the witnesses the world needs—joyful, resilient, grounded in God's mercy.Because Christian hope doesn't disappoint.
