You did what? With whom? ​How many times?
​with Fr. Patrick Mullen
March 14, 2023

The Sacrament of Reconciliation can seem hard…but it doesn’t need to be. It’s intended to be a loving grace in our lives.

​Hear Fr. Patrick speak on the Scriptural roots, the Divine plan of forgiveness, and the place confession has in our spiritual growth and family life.
 

Since he was a righteous man…
St. Joseph from the Sacred Scriptures
​with Fr. Patrick Mullen
May 17, 2021

Only Jesus, among all humans, chose his biological father, entrusting his helpless infant self into Joseph's hands. Using the Bible as our starting point, we look at this marvelous, enigmatic, and selfless man as we celebrate the "Year of St. Joseph." By examining him, perhaps we could solidify our righteousness as disciples of the Son he adopted. Join Fr. Patrick Mullen in this powerful and enlightening presentation.​​
