Saint Paul’s letter to the Romans – the part we have this Sunday (chapter 8, versus 35-39) – is one of the most beautiful things Paul ever wrote. What will be able to separate us from the love of Christ?

Thank you for giving a child a fresh new start to the school year!

The SOS Ministry at St. Paul of the Cross invites you to a stroke awareness lunch and learn presented by the Stroke Team from Lutheran General Hospital.

These are among my favorite parables of our Lord: the treasure buried in the field, the pearl of great price, and the dragnet catching all different types of fish.

Impatience is the ‘common denominator sin.’ Everyone is impatient.

I think one of the points from our first reading from the prophet Isaiah (“Just as from the heavens the rain and the snow come down and do not return there until they have watered the earth…”) is that God makes use of all suffering.

Dear Parishioners, The notion of privilege has been on my heart these several weeks. We are a privileged people. The Catholic Church and all its members are blessed and chosen specifically by God. This isn’t anything new in the tradition. Israel was also a privileged, chosen nation. “For you are a people holy to the LORD, your God; the LORD, your God, has chosen you from all the peoples on the face of the earth to be a people specially his own” (Deuteronomy 7:6). Modern soc

Young adults ages 18–35 are invited to grow in faith through Scripture, discussion, and fellowship. Join us every Tuesday at 7:00 p.m. in the Holy Family Chapel at St. Paul of the Cross Church as we explore God's Word and its relevance to everyday life. All are welcome—no prior Bible study experience is needed.

Our first reading is the scene of Elisha, a prophet of ancient Israel, having dinner with a prominent husband and wife. The couple enjoys their dinner with the prophet so much they make a nice guest room for the prophet and invite him to come back on his day off in the future.

Please note that the parish office is observing summer office hours through August 23rd.

I’ve noticed when I give out communion at Mass that when I say “The Body of Christ” I whisper it. I’m not sure if this simply developed out of a habit of manners–trying to keep a low voice when inside, especially inside a church–or for some other unintentional reason, but the more I think about it, the more I find whispering appropriate (if I may humbly say so myself). Why?

Last Sunday on Pentecost I gave another “history of the Catholic Church” homily, this time focusing on the split of western and eastern Christianity (Catholic and Orthodox).
