Remembering God's Love - Weekday Homily Video

Going deeper in the faith is something we all hope for this Lenten season. At times, it involves praying over the Word of God and asking some questions.

We Can Count on God - Family Discussion Video

Dad: "Kids, it’s time for bed." Kids: "Throw us in bed! Dad, throw us in bed!" (Dad picks a kid up in his arms.) Dad: "Did I ever tell you about the three men in the book of Daniel who were thrown into the fiery furnace?" Kids: "No!" Dad: "Their names were... Shadrach... Meshach... and ToBedYouGo!" We can sometimes feel as if we too have been cast into the furnace; just like Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego. The fiery furnace is something we all come across in our lives.
