Sermon From The 2nd Sunday of Lent 2014 At the Transfiguration, Christ took three apostles that represent three virtues. St. Peter represents duty, St. James represents knowledge, and St. John represents love. It was as if Christ relaxed and allowed His Divinity to shine through His human nature. This was shown to the apostles and…
Sermon On The 1st Sunday of Lent 2014 Father Violette✟ Our sins are an infinite offense, because they offend an infinite God and although we cannot make adequate reparation, Our Lord has still instructed us to do penance.

Conference On Ash Wednesday 2014 Although many outside the Faith look askance at the penances Catholics perform, they are unable to explain the meaning of Christ’s words, “unless you do penance you will perish.” We have great attachments to our vices, and it is only through grace and penance that we can learn truly to hate…
Sermon From Sexagesima Sunday 2014 We are reminded at this Mass that we are in need of a conversion of life. However, since knowledge does not equal virtue, so we must place ourselves in a retreat from the world in order to accomplish this goal. We must have a true desire to convert ourselves and…

Sermon From Last Sunday After Pentecost 2013 At the end, Christ will come openly for all to see, and yet many evil people will remain unrepentant. Why? Because they do not want to be converted. We must not be among them, and we must begin our preparation now by using the sacrament of Penance and…
Sermon From 24th Sunday After Pentecost 2013 Father Violette✟ We must first love God, then our neighbor, and then love ourselves according to God’s Will.
