Letter From the Pastor – August 5, 2018

How do we – priests, religious, lay persons – become involved in efforts to build a human society which respects the dignity and promotes the welfare of all? Obviously, as believers we must call attention to the moral and religious dimensions of all issues. We must point out the demands of our Christian Faith for a just transformation of society. We must keep the gospel values alive and well in a world that needs them desperately. How many of us take a stand on the side of gospel values when issues arise in public education, housing, homelessness, sexuality and health […]

More than ever, people today – you and me – want […]

For example, there was Apollo, god of the sun; Bacchus, god of wine; Minerva, goddess of wisdom; and Venus, goddess of love and beauty. This ancient theology is generally thought […]
