Fr. Glenn: Free To Be Whom We Will To Be
By Rev. Glenn JonesThe Las Vegas shooting, of course, dominated the news this week, as tragedies often do. Remembering that massacre, it’s timely that the Gospel that we read at our Catholic Mass this weekend is the parable of the vineyard owner and the rebellious tenants (Matthew 21:33-43).

As we think about Las Vegas, Read More

Regarding hurricanes and flooding – send money. There are many organizations such as the American Red Cross and Americares Read More
