Are you ready to "get back to normal?" Today Peter wants to get back to "normal" life... he goes fishing! It's right in the midst of this that Peter encounters Jesus!  

Inside the Acorn

Fr Mitch, Who's your John and What's your "normal"?

What was Jesus doing on the last week of his life? Today he is hanging out with his best friend... Lazarus! This homily is all about FRIENDSHIP and how important it is for each of us to have a "Lazarus" or a "SAM" in your life!

Fr Mitch, Monday of Holy Week, Jesus' Best Friend

What do school uniforms or medical uniforms have in common with circumcisions?  And why does Jesus get circumcised? What was the purpose and how does this affect us? .... I promise this is a Rated PG homily :-)

Fr Mitch, Uniforms and Circumcisions

Were the Wise Men "Kings"? Was King Herod crazy? And was there a cool prophecy about the "star" that would accompany the New Born King of Judea? Listen close to get the answers!

Fr Mitch, Feast of the Epiphany

Why do we call Mary the "Mother" of God? I thought she was the mother of Jesus? This homily goes into why Catholics give her this title and honor.

Fr Mitch, Mary Mother of God 2019

We all know the story of Christmas... But check it out anyway!

Fr Mitch, Christmas 2019

Everyone has to make a BIG YES to something in their life... and that BIG YES will lead to a life time of little yesses. These little yesses are what brings life to our stories and allows us to face the various battles that we go through in life! To help us with those little yesses, we need friends and loved ones to help us hold our arms out, like Moses, in todays First Reading! We can't fight our battles alone... Who is on your left and your right helping you to hold up your arms in your daily battles?

Fr Mitch, Sunday Oct 20, BIG YES vs. little yes

Listen to all the fascinating history and symbolism regarding the paintings, statues, etc... of everything that is inside our beautiful Two Hearts Perpetual Adoration Chapel! You will hear about the incredible gift that we have been given!

Fr Mitch, Symbolism of Sacred Art in Adoration Chapel

Recent study shows that almost 70% of PRACTICING Catholics do not believe that Jesus is truly present in the Holy Eucharist... they think it is only a symbol. This is a passionate homily about men and women who are WITNESSES of the reality of the Eucharist. Pope Paul VI says, "Modern man will listen to witnesses before he will listen to teachers."   

Fr Mitch, Sunday Sept 29, Witness of the Eucharist

This homily is all about how St. Thomas is Gettin' Ready to open our Perpetual Adoration Chapel!! You will hear some incredible statistics and why its important to have a Holy Hour!

Fr Mitch, Sunday Sept 15, Gettin' Ready

What does Jesus mean when He says that if we want to be His disciples, then we have to HATE our father and mother and brother and sister and children and wife? This is very confusing.... I thought we had to honor our parent? And by the way, it's His Momma's birthday today.... why should we honor Mary?

Fr Mitch, Sunday Sept 8, HATE

In this weeks Gospel we see a very different Jesus... He is talking about His desire to cast a fire on the earth and dividing families!! What's the deal? What are supposed to think about "this" kind of Jesus?

Fr Mitch, Sunday Aug 18, Get LIT

Today is the Feast of the Assumption, when Mary is taken up to heaven, body and soul. If you could create your own momma... what would she be like? Jesus had the chance to do this, and He didn't hold back!!

Fr Mitch, Assumption of Mary, If I Could Create My Momma

Jesus knows his mission.. he knows where he is heading! Sometimes we look back at our past, on what and who we left behind, but we have to keep looking forward! What's your mission? Where are you heading? What are you looking at?

Fr Mitch, Sunday June 30, Where Ya Lookin?

Happy Independence Day! In todays society we have a backwards view of "Freedom!" But today's Gospel speaks to us about true freedom... a freedom which goes beyond pleasure or doing what we must must do... True freedom is the moral right to do what we ought to do!
