Pastor’s Letter 4.17.22
Dear Friends, As an Easter letter this year I give you parts of a reflection written and published by Dorothy Sayers in 1938 in which she addresses the age-old problem of why God allows people to hurt each other. I wish there was space here to reproduce the whole...
Pastor’s Letter 4.10.22
Dear Friends, My first trip to Israel happened in 2001 while the second Intifada was happening, which made tourists in the Holy Land almost non-existent. I spent that Good Friday afternoon sitting and praying in the courtyard of Caiaphas’ house all by myself. On that...
Pastor’s Letter 4.3.22
Dear Friends, We have a beautiful scene in today’s gospel of Jesus setting free a woman caught in adultery. From that, it would make sense to do a reflection on forgiveness. However, I was asked a question the other day and I thought I would try to blubber forth some...
Pastor’s Letter 3.27.22
Dear Friends, Our gospel today gives us the grace-filled story of what has come to be called “The Prodigal Son”. It comes to us in our Lenten Journey on Laetare Sunday, a day in the midst of Lent when we are invited to “Rejoice!”. The word Laetare comes from the...
Pastor’s Letter 3.20.22
Dear Friends, We are taking up a second collection today for the people of Ukraine who are suffering such profound loss. The collection is being taken up by the United States Catholic Bishops. One great sadness I have felt with this war is, just like the two prior...

Pastor’s Letter 3.6.22
Dear Friends, As I mentioned in the Ash Wednesday homily, the world this year is giving us a very clear demonstration of the consequences of evil actions. All we have to do is look on our phones or our televisions to see the consequences of evil in the invasion of...
Pastor’s Letter 2.27.22
Dear Friends, Lent begins on Wednesday! Ready or not, this amazing liturgical season is here! You should have all received a flyer from us with our Lenten offerings to help you live your Lent better. Hopefully, you are aware that we are launching Cabrini Communities...

Pastor’s Letter 2.13.22
Dear Friends, Some of you have been asking me what will be our topics for reflection and discussion in the Cabrini Community. To be honest, we have just started putting together the ideas for reflection so we do not know what the topic will be a year from now....
Pastor’s Letter 2.6.22
Dear Friends, Every time we profess our belief in a Triune God we hold up the truth that God, in God’s self, is relational. It is a love relationship between Father, Son and Spirit. The wonder of that love calls forth the rest of creation. God loved us so much that we...
Cabrini Communities
Dear Friends, When Jesus called his disciples, he would say to them, “Follow me”. In doing so Jesus was inviting them to be part of his journey, a journey that involves a transformation both inward and outward. Jesus is still calling people to follow him. Through our...
