Fr. Corwin’s homily on Sunday, September 4th, 2016 on “carrying our own cross”,  a metaphor that means our road to holiness may not be to our liking and it may be difficult.

August 21st, 2016 Fr. David’s Homily “The Narrow Gate”

Fr. David preaches at St. Dominic’s on the lock out of salvation that could happen if we don’t take Jesus’ teachings seriously. The gate is open, narrow, but open.

Thank you for generously supporting the Dominicans in Nigeria and enabling them to preach the Good News.

July 10th, 2016 The Good Samaritan

July 3rd, 2016 Anniversary of the Dedication of the Cathedral in Sacramento

Is nothing sacred? The sacredness of our spaces as Jesus protected the sacredness of the temple and how we approach and prepare to be in the sacred space of our Church on Sunday today. Bringing our best to God and preparing ourselves to present ourselves to him and honor his sacrifice for us with dignity and decorum.
