January 18, 2015 Discerning God’s Will Can Be Difficult, A Pro-Life Message
Fr Jerome's message on the Anniversary of Roe Vs. Wade. Fr. Jerome shares the message of saints including Samuel, Andrew, and Pete and the difficulty they had in discerning God's will for their life, after they chose to be disciples of God. They had to discern to continue to follow Him one day at a time. They could not foresee the difficulties they would face on their journey, but without them they would have missed out on the grace and blessings. This is often the case in the vocation of parenthood, whether it is planned or unplanned. Fr. Jerome shares his past personal struggle with one of the most controversial topics of the Church and how he has come to understand through the witness and the counseling of friends and parishioners of whom are faced with the most difficult choice and were often left alone and failed by those around them. Time and time again, God redeems with love. The Church is a place of mercy and love and forgiveness. Please listen to this moving homily in it's entirety.

December 24th, 2014 Midnight Mass Homily
Fr. Jerome's homily on Christmas Eve 2015. One sentence from tonight's Gospel stands out and in particular Fr. Jerome breaks down this verse into 4 important words, David, Savior, Christ, and Lord. In this Gospel God is keeping his promise to the people of Israel that he would give them a nation, and a kingdom through David that would continue through Jesus, the anointed one. When the angel appears to the shepherds he tells them the one they have been waiting for has come, not just to bring back temporal power for the people of Israel but to save ALL people from their sins. We must proclaim the Good News and share it with everyone.

Fr. Corwin preaches about the physical preparations and rituals we go through through in order to fully experience the spiritual works and sacraments in our life. By preparing physically to dress for Church, enter the church, kneel to pray, we open our minds to God and prepare to encounter Him. We use all of our senses to encounter Christ in a uniquely Catholic way. We hear the Word of God, we smell the incense in the church, we see the consecration by the priest, touch the sacrament in our hand, we taste the body and blood of Christ. We prepare and use all of our senses because we want to intimately know God and love him.
