  • June 15, 2025 - Trinity Sunday
    Jun 16 2025

    On this Trinity Sunday, Fr. Rob takes the advice of a wise professor—don’t try to define the Trinity, live it. Rather than untangle the mystery of Father, Son, and Spirit, he reflects on what it means for us to be made in God’s image. At our core, we are built for relationship—just as God is relationship. Through one another, through the Church, through the Eucharist, we come to know who we truly are: not individuals alone, but members of one body, forever intertwined in divine love.

  • June 8, 2025 - Pentecost Sunday
    Jun 9 2025

    In this Pentecost homily, Fr. Rob explores one of the most powerful images of the Holy Spirit—breath. Just as we can’t live without oxygen, we can’t fully live without the Holy Spirit animating, guiding, and empowering us. From forgiveness to compassion to courageous love, the Spirit moves through us in unexpected and often uncomfortable ways. And in the sacrament of Confirmation, we’re reminded that this divine breath connects and unites us all.

  • June 1, 2025 - Ascension of the Lord
    Jun 2 2025

    Fr. Rob shares a powerful reflection comparing the transformation of the Lions under a great coach to the transformation of the apostles under Jesus’ guidance. Just as a good coach believes in their players and expects the best from them, Jesus prepared and equipped his disciples to carry out his mission with courage and conviction. That same Spirit that empowered the apostles is alive in us today—calling us to be fearless witnesses of Christ’s love in the world.

  • May 25, 2025 - 6th Sunday of Easter
    May 27 2025

    Fr. Rob shares a story about a missionary at his rectory door who claimed only a select few could be saved—an encounter that led him to reflect on the heart of the Gospel message. Drawing from the early Church’s struggles with rules and restrictions, Fr. Rob invites us to focus less on the laws and more on the one law that matters: “Love one another as I have loved you.” When we allow the presence of Christ to dwell in us, everything else falls into place. It’s not about who’s “in” or “out”—it’s about loving as Jesus loves.

    Fr. Rob takes us back 50 years to the day of his First Communion—complete with a burgundy sport coat, striped pants, and black buckle shoes—and reflects on what truly mattered: the gift of the Eucharist and the love on his parents' faces. That kind of unconditional love, shown through decades of faith and family, mirrors the new commandment Jesus gives his disciples: Love one another. In this homily, Fr. Rob connects his own First Communion to those receiving theirs today and reminds all of us that Christ's love is freely given—whether or not we feel worthy—and our only task is to pass that love on to others.

    May 12 2025

    Fr. Rob shares a humorous and heartfelt story about his dad’s first solo flight to Las Vegas—and how a loud sneeze in the airport became the unmistakable sign of his return. That moment of recognition leads to a powerful reflection on the voice of Christ: how we know it, how often we hear it, and how easy it is to ignore it. Whether it’s a nudge to help someone or a quiet call to kindness, Jesus speaks to us constantly with love and compassion. The challenge? Not just hearing his voice, but responding to it.

  • May 8, 2025 - Special Mass for Pope Leo XIV
    May 9 2025

    In this special homily, Fr. Rob reflects on his first impressions of the newly elected Pope Leo XIV—and what those impressions reveal about faith, humility, and leadership. With warmth and wit, he shares a recent conversation about how empathy and first impressions can shape everything, even in fields as unexpected as medicine. Drawing connections to Catholic social teaching and the spirit of inclusion at the heart of the Gospel, Fr. Rob unpacks the meaning behind Pope Leo’s name choice, his human vulnerability, and his bold declaration that all are welcome. It's a reminder that saying “yes” to God—even with knocking knees—can change the world.

    May 5 2025

    In this powerful reflection on the Gospel encounter between Jesus and Peter, Fr. Rob explores what it means to move from admiration to unconditional love. Just as Jesus presses Peter three times—“Do you love me?”—He asks each of us the same. Fr. Rob challenges us to insert our own names into that question and consider what it truly means to show our love for Christ by loving and caring for others. From the innocence of a child’s “I love you” to the full, sacrificial love of discipleship, this episode invites us to take a step deeper into faith, trust, and commitment.
