Enquiring minds want to know, so tune in to hear the discussions.

After prayer, Father turns his attention to the Holy Trinity, and the upcoming Feast of Corpus Christi. The group chats regarding their experiences with the Holy Eucharist and their encounters with God and marvel at how God is found in the little things that we need or enjoy. Are these coincidences?

Fr. Anthony with Tony, and Cristina gather to discuss the goings on, and people in the Parish. Father Anthony shares the business of parish life, as there’s always something to keep him busy here. After much needed prayer, Father’s focus turns to Pope Leo’s words as he has shared to encourage the unity of the Eastern and Western Churches as well as the need for the mysticism and beauty found in the Eastern Church liturgies. Father expresses that he celebrates the Cannon in Latin on occasion in efforts to bring back the mysticism and the sacredness of the mass. Many people like the Latin mass and feel like they are brought into the mass in a unique way, may we experience greater mysticism and sacredness.
