Today is the first Sunday of Fr. Demetri at the newly formed Assumption-St. George Parish in Dracut, Ma.In the Gospel Passage today  we hear about a king who gave a wedding feast for his son.  We hear that those who were invited did not choose to attend which left room/seats for others to fill.  Later we hear that someone came inside the feast “without a wedding garment”.What does this passage mean for us today?What does the term “wedding garment” mean?What does this Gospel teach us hear at this newly established Parish?Listen!

The Rev. Sarah Bonay explores how reading Genesis through John's gospel shows us that redemption is not a backup plan, but the fulfillment of creation. In the cross and resurrection of Jesus, the original blueprint of Genesis 1 and 2 is fully restored, proving that the Savior of the world is the very Creator who loved us into existence from the foundation of time.

History tells us that something revolutionary happened that transformed the moral and ethical landscape of Western civilization. That heritage is now encoded in the fabric of our society, and yet, we are unaware of its origins. As audacious as it may sound, we have our morals and ethics because of Jesus, a way of being distinctly contrarian to the Empire.

We invite you to listen to this sermon from our seminarian Lisa Baird from the 10am service on the Fifteenth Sunday After Pentecost, September 6, 2026. Next week is Saint Luke's Homecoming, when we return to three Sunday services. 8am, 10am in church and livestreamed, and 5pm Come As You Are CAYA, in church and livestreamed. We hope you'll join us or tune into the service that speaks to you. For more information on Saint Luke's Parish, please visit www.saintlukesdarien.org.

Moses - Grace in the Wilderness - The First Passover

Father Anthony with Alice and Tony, gather to discuss the goings on, and people in the Parish.  Father Anthony is joined by his guest Alice Babij (Bobby) today.  Father greets everyone and after some moments in prayer they briefly chat over quotes from Pope Saint Gregory the Great after his Feast Day yesterday. Father then asks, how do we enter the silence of God? That moments of silence can help us build a deeper relationship with Our Lord when we set time aside for Him. After a break Alice talks about the St Michael's Lent and how prayer, fasting, and almsgiving helps us in spiritual weakness and confidence in the power of God when we feel like he is not there. The book is available at priestlypress.com. St. Stanislaus Kostka Parish priestlypress.com

Adam Stephenson, our guest from the episode "Knocking on Doors", joins me for a walk where he gives his hot take on evangelization: you should stick to the parish in your own backyard. He argues that parish shopping keeps us at arms length from the real work of evangelization, while staying local invites us to love the people God has placed right in front of us. And I agreed with him…for the most part. Tune in for a mini-sode on why you should (or shouldn't) belong to the parish whose geographic boundaries you live in.

Father Anthony with Tony regroup today after a week's break to discuss the goings on, and people in the Parish. Father greets everyone and chats about how psychology has become a false god of sorts since the 1970's and the writing off of faith as just mythology. He then focuses on the importance of living our lives in spite of earthy suffering as Christians in discussions on Vatican II, the choice angels and humans have in eternal salvation or condemnation, the sufferings of the prophet Jeremiah, and Peter's rebuke of Christ in the Gospels. They discuss what that means and for us to be conscious of whether we are truly leading Christian lives as were called to as Catholics. St. Stanislaus Kostka Parish

There are few questions more difficult, or more easily misunderstood, than the question of why God made us male and female. Our age has given us no shortage of answers. Some tell us that sex is merely a biological accident. Others tell us that it is simply a private identity to be constructed according to our feelings. But perhaps the real trouble is that we have forgotten to ask the question beneath the question. Why did God make us this way? To ask it honestly is not to begin with condemnation, but with wonder. If God is the author of creation, then the difference between man and woman cannot be an arbitrary detail. It must somehow belong to the meaning of creation itself, to the strange and beautiful truth that we were not made for ourselves alone, but for communion, gift, and love. This is why, on October 1st, I want to invite all of you my, dear parishioners, to “The Well” with Christopher West here at St. Mary's Parish. It offers something increasingly rare: a place where difficult questions are not treated as threats, and where Christian teaching is not reduced to a list of prohibitions. Instead, we are invited to see the human person anew. The Christian claim is far more astonishing than “there are rules about sex.” The claim is that the body itself speaks. Male and female are not merely two categories imposed upon an otherwise meaningless existence. They reveal something about the Creator's intention: that love is not fundamentally about taking, possessing, or gratifying the self. Love means making a gift of oneself. And here the mystery becomes still greater. For if we want to understand why God made us male and female, we must eventually come to the Eucharist. The Eucharist is the place where Christianity's vision of the human person ceases to be an abstract philosophy and becomes flesh before our eyes. Christ does not merely tell us that He loves us. He gives Himself to us. His Body is given; His Blood is poured out. The deepest pattern written into creation is revealed at the altar: love gives itself away. We might say that the Eucharist is the answer to the riddle written into the human body. We were made for communion because God Himself is communion. We were made to receive love and to become a gift because Christ shows us that the fullness of life is found not in grasping oneself, but in giving oneself away. The Eucharist reveals the destiny for which the human person was created: not isolation, but union; not consumption, but communion; not self-invention, but self-gift. This is why The Well matters. It is not merely an evening for people who already have all the answers. It is especially for those who have questions—for parents trying to understand the world their children inhabit, for young people trying to make sense of their own bodies and desires, and for anyone who senses that beneath the arguments about sexuality lies a much deeper question about what it means to be human. Christ does not meet our confusion with contempt. He meets it with truth and truth, when seen in Him, is beautiful. So come to The Well. Come not merely to learn what the Church says about male and female, but to discover why the Church believes the human body is good, why our differences have meaning, why love demands a gift of self, and why all of these mysteries finally lead us toward the Eucharist.

Parish renewal can look very different when you're no longer talking about it from a diocesan office—but actually living it as a pastor and parish leader. In Episode 231, Ron Huntley sits down with Fr. Peter Wojcik and Marco Oropeza talk about what they have learned through years of pastoral renewal at St. Clement Parish in Chicago—and why those lessons eventually led them to launch Magnified Ministries. If you're a pastor or parish leader wondering how to move from ideas about renewal into the lived reality of parish transformation, this conversation is for you. And if you're ready to take an honest look at your own parish, take the Parish Missional Health Assessment at huntleyleadership.com. In this episode, you'll learn: – Why renewal leaders need to experience transformation themselves, not simply teach a strategy to others. – Why parish transformation moves much more slowly than a strategic plan might suggest, and why that slowness can be valuable. – How listening to a parish community can become the starting point for vision, strategy, and engagement. – How pastors and parish councils can work together without confusing their different responsibilities and authority. – How to create meaningful connection and belonging as a parish grows larger, including the use of smaller communities and trained leaders who listen rather than simply promote programs. – Why parish renewal requires identifying, forming, and releasing lay leaders rather than relying on the pastor to carry every ministry. – Why pastors shouldn't assume they have to build renewal alone. About Fr. Peter Wojcik Fr. Peter Wojcik is pastor of Saint Clement Parish and Pastoral Strategy Leader for the Archdiocese of Chicago. He teaches negotiation and change management at the Quinlan School of Business at Loyola University and serves on the board of Alpha USA and the Vatican's Centesimus Annus pro Pontifice Foundation.

In this episode, I had the pleasure of chatting with Karessa Parish, a true veteran of the digital customer success space. If you've been grappling with how to differentiate digital CS from scaled CS, or how to build out effective self-onboarding programs, this episode is a must-listen.Karessa shares her unique journey from middle school teacher to a leader in digital customer experience, highlighting how that "scrappiness" and educational mindset translates directly into building scalable, customer-centric programs. We dive deep into why digital CS acts as "the connective tissue" between customer touchpoints, making sure customers get the support they need even when a CSM isn't directly involved. Karessa also unpacks her strategy for internal "roadshows," fostering cross-functional collaboration, especially with product marketing, to ensure a unified and consistent customer experience. We explore the nuances of community building, gamification, and the ongoing challenge of customer engagement.

Former Beacon Mayor Randy Casale joins the podcast for a deep dive into why Beacon, New York still lacks a full-scale community center despite decades of need. Drawing from his 26 years as Superintendent of Streets and two terms as mayor (2012–2019), Casale traces Beacon's community support history from church-run programs like the Catholic Youth Organization and St. Andrew's Parish to the independent Beacon Community Center and Martin Luther King Center that served generations of youth before closing in the early 2010s. The episode reveals previously unknown details about Casale's 2013–2015 initiative to secure a $10 million Downtown Revitalization grant for a community center at Hammond Field—a plan presented three consecutive years to state economic development boards but denied due to Beacon's perceived affluence. Casale shares the comprehensive architectural plans developed with planner John Clark, which included bike lanes, pocket parks, and veteran housing partnerships, and explains why establishing dedicated funding mechanisms and embedding the project in Beacon's Comprehensive Plan are critical to preventing another decade of delays. The conversation explores how turnover in city leadership erodes institutional memory, why current Recreation Department programs—while expanded—cannot replace a centralized facility, and what concrete steps the new Beacon Community Collectives nonprofit can take to finally move this project forward, including locating the existing 2013–2015 plans through FOIL requests and securing protected land and maintenance funding before construction begins.

DescriptionSt Vincent de Paul developed what he called his ‘little method' of preaching for his fellow ‘mission priests and brothers' in 17th century. France. We know that St Vincent de Paul is a champion of the materially poor, but did you know he was also deeply engaged in helping the materially poor out of spiritual poverty, as well. He dedicated his life to preaching Parish missions to poor and rural areas throughout France, as well as great clerical reform for French priests, as well. And his ‘little method' of preaching which is threefold, was at the center of both - his parish missions in poor communities as well as updated instruction on preaching for Priests after ordination. Today, we are going to jump into this ‘method' and see how it might still apply to us almost 400 years later in our ministry today…Here's a link to the document that includes his teaching on the “little method”. It starts on actual page of PDF (270) and concludes on actual page of PDF (293). The internal pagination runs from p 237 to p 260. https://via.library.depaul.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=1037&context=vincentian_ebooksLinksFor more information about the Better Preach Podcast visit: www.ryanohara.org/betterpreachBetter Preach Podcast is now on YouTube.

As we continue our sermon series through Romans 11, Reverend Jacob answers the question: can God be trusted? And looking at the example of the Syrophoenician Woman, why there is never any room for boasting in the Christian life.

Welcome back to the Driven By podcast. Today I'm sitting down with Dr. Sally Gates Parish, Vice Provost and Director of Schools at the University of Memphis. Sally runs University Schools — Tennessee's first Innovative School District. No entrance exam. Lottery-based admission. Kids from all 36 zip codes in Memphis. And the results are four times better than the district average — 87% reading proficiency versus 24% across Memphis Shelby County Schools. Same city, same population, different outcomes. Sally is a first-generation college graduate who grew up country poor in a log cabin in middle Tennessee with well water and a single parent household. She came to the University of Memphis on an academic scholarship, waited tables to pay for everything else, and now runs a school district serving 1,300 kids with 1,500 more on the waiting list. We cover how she accidentally became a superintendent, what it took to build a school district from scratch inside a university, and why the results keep speaking for themselves. Thanks for listening. Let's get to it.

Full Text of Readings Thursday of the Nineteenth Week in Ordinary Time Lectionary: 416 The Saint of the day is Blessed Michael J. McGivney Blessed Michael McGivney's Story The eldest son of an immigrant Irish family in Connecticut, young Michael left school at 13 to work in a brass factory making spoons. At 16 Michael J. McGivney began studies for the priesthood in Quebec, but was obliged to leave to help support the family when his father died. Michael completed his education in Baltimore, Maryland, and was ordained for the diocese of Hartford in 1877. Assigned to St. Mary's Parish in New Haven, Michael J. McGivney was very active in parish and civic affairs, serving as director of public plays and fairs. He volunteered to become the guardian of Alfred Downes, a minor whose father had died leaving a large family in poverty. This situation as well as his own family's circumstances and that of other immigrants impressed on Fr. McGivney the need for lay Catholic men to establish a mutual aid society to provide financial assistance for their families if the primary wage earner died. Protestant fraternal groups already provided this type of life insurance protection for their members. In 1882, Michael J. McGivney formed the Knights of Columbus among a small group of St. Mary's parishioners to promote charity, unity, and fraternity, assisting widows and orphans. Because of the Knights' emphasis on serving Church, community and family, the organization grew and did not remain strictly parish-based. Patriotism was added as a founding principle in 1900. Michael J. McGivney died from pneumonia in 1890 and was buried in Waterbury, Connecticut. Later his body was moved back to St. Mary's in New Haven where it remains today. He was beatified in 2020. Reflection Michael Joseph McGivney was a genuine pastor who, in the words of Pope Francis, was unafraid to share “the smell of his sheep.” He promoted families whose members were strong in their faith expressed through generous following of the corporal and spiritual works of mercy. In a decree read at the beatification Mass, Pope Francis praised Fr. McGivney's “zeal and the proclamation of the Gospel and generous concern for his brothers and sisters.” These “made him an outstanding witness of Christian solidarity and fraternal assistance.”Saint of the Day, Copyright Franciscan Media

August 6, 2026 Your Labor Shortage Is a Leadership Shortage w/ Nic Parish (DT 467) Nic Parish is the CEO of Burns Dirt, a civil construction company his grandfather and great-uncle started with two dump trucks in 1977, and a speaker who showed up to his first major keynote expecting 40 people and walked into a standing-room audience of 250. He spent a decade quietly stepping into a leadership role he never formally asked for, only to find himself mid-conversation trying to untangle a decade-long family buyout while figuring out who he was inside a company built by the people who raised him. He reveals why construction's people problem isn't a skills gap but a leadership gap, and why the contractors still blaming the next generation for being unprepared are ignoring the fact that they're the ones who raised them.
