Saint Patrick Parish Homilies

In this homily, Fr. Ian reflects on his childhood playground, the temptation to claim what we think belongs to us, and how that same selfishness can find its way into our hearts.

In this homily, Fr. Ian asks us to look honestly at the state of our marriages, and reminds us that when something has become bitter, broken, or empty, Jesus doesn’t simply walk away. He enters the vineyard.

How do we respond to suffering? Jesus doesn’t promise a life without suffering. He shows us how to carry our crosses, with patience, grace, prayer, and trust in God. We can avoid our crosses, become angry with God, or choose to embrace them and follow Christ. Through the cross comes resurrection and glory.

In this homily, we reflect on the persistent faith of the Canaanite woman in the Gospel and what her story teaches us about prayer, waiting, and trusting God’s timing.

And when He works a miracle in our lives, it is never just for us, it becomes a witness of faith for others.

This homily reminds us that we are not meant to face life’s storms alone. When we seek the Lord in the quiet, reach out for help, and trust Him, Christ reaches down and reminds us: you are worth saving.

May we let go of what holds us back and discover the treasure that is found in holding onto God. 🌿 Listen t...

In this powerful homily, we reflect on Jesus’ Parable of the Sower and the reality that God pours His grace out on all of us, freely and without limits. Like seeds scattered across every kind of ground, His love reaches even the hardest places in our hearts. The question is: how will we receive it?
