Two great ways to bring your faith to life that start TODAY! 🙏🎬

Prayer and storytelling can both open our hearts to encounter Christ in a deeper way. Beginning today, our parishes are offering two opportunities to use digital media as a doorway to prayer, reflection, conversation, and a lived relationship with Jesus.

📱 Hallow: “How to Pray” 14-Day Prayer Challenge
Join us in exploring a different way to pray each day, guided by prominent Catholic voices including Fr. Mike Schmitz, Bishop Barron, Sr. Miriam, Mark Wahlberg, and Jonathan Roumie.

🎬 Mondays with The Chosen
Tonight at 7:00 PM in the St. Boniface Rectory Basement (RAC), gather with us to watch Season 4, Episode 5 — “Sitting, Serving, Scheming” — followed by refreshments, fellowship, and conversation.

And if Jonathan Roumie is one of the reasons you already enjoy Hallow or The Chosen, here’s your invitation to experience the other! You may know him as Jesus in The Chosen but have never prayed with him on Hallow — or perhaps you’ve heard him on Hallow but haven’t joined us for The Chosen.

Either way, these two experiences offer different paths toward the same thing: moving beyond simply watching or listening to encounter Christ, reflect on His presence, and let faith shape the way we live.

Start the prayer challenge. Come watch with us tonight. Better yet — do both! ✝️

✨ WHAT’S NEW WEDNESDAY? ✨

We have a new addition—or two! 📚💛

We’re excited to introduce our new Little Free Library & Blessing Box, two simple ways to share faith, hope, and a little extra help with our community.

📖 Our Little Free Library currently features a mix of faith-based reading, Bibles, and prayer cards. Stop by, browse, take something that speaks to you, or share a resource with someone who may need it.

🥫 Our Blessing Box is an extension of our Mary Carlucci Food Pantry, offering a variety of quick-grab food items along with information about local assistance and community resources. It’s here for anyone who could use a little help along the way.

📚 Take a book.
🥫 Grab what you need.
🙏 Take a prayer with you.

And please help us spread the word so these resources can reach those who need them! ❤️

PS: A reminder that Food Pantry donations can be dropped in collection boxes in any of our three churches, and we can also accept donations at the Parish Office (there is a collection bin on the office porch for drop-offs outside of office hours!)

Conflict is a reality of human life. We all have failures, shortcomings, and struggles—and so do the people around us.

In this weekend’s Gospel, Jesus gives us a path for dealing with conflict: not to win an argument, but to win back a relationship.

Go first to the person one-on-one, with humility of heart. If that doesn’t bring reconciliation, invite others—not simply those who will take your side, but people who can help bring wisdom, honesty, and peace.

And through it all, remember Jesus’ promise:

“Where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them.”

Even when reconciliation seems impossible, we never abandon another person. After all, Matthew—the man who gives us this Gospel—was himself a tax collector.

So Fr. Dias leaves us with a challenging question:

Who is your “tax collector”?

Who is the person you struggle to forgive, understand, or welcome back?

As we profess our faith, offer our intercessions, and bring forward the gifts of bread and wine at Mass, let us also offer those people to God. Let us pray for them—and for the healing of our relationships.

Because if God can change bread and wine into the Body and Blood of Christ, He can change the “tax collectors” in our lives into our brothers and sisters.

May we have the humility to seek reconciliation, the courage to pray for those with whom we struggle, and the faith to believe that God can transform even the most broken relationships. 🙏
