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
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 4, 2025 - 3rd Sunday of Easter
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.

April 27, 2025 - 2nd Sunday of Easter
In this Second Sunday of Easter homily, Fr. Rob reconsiders the all-too-common label of "Doubting Thomas," suggesting instead that Thomas should be known as "Honest Thomas." Fr. Rob explores how doubt is not the enemy of faith but rather an opportunity for deeper trust, growth, and grace. He reminds us that true faith isn't built on certainty but on openness—a relationship with God that welcomes questions, struggles, and honest conversation. Like Thomas, when we bring our doubts to Christ, we find that he always meets us with exactly what we need.
NOTE: The kids at Mass were praying loudly!

Good Friday 2025
In this Good Friday homily, Fr. Rob draws a striking parallel between classic Western novels and the Passion of Christ—every story has its heroes, villains, and cowards. Through the lens of this sacred narrative, he challenges us to see ourselves in each character: in the cowardice of Peter and Pilate, the villainy rooted in fear and jealousy, and in the quiet courage of the women at the cross and Joseph of Arimathea. But most importantly, he reminds us of the hope embedded in the Passion: that no matter where we fall in the story, redemption is always possible.
