Holiness in the Everyday: Inspired by Saints Carlo & Pier Giorgio

✨ From the Pastor’s Desk

Homily of Pope Leo XIV – Part II
Fr. Skip continues sharing Pope Leo XIV’s homily from the canonization of Saints Pier Giorgio Frassati and Carlo Acutis. Both saints remind us that holiness is lived through simple daily practices: Mass, prayer, Adoration, Confession, and acts of charity. Their words, “Not I, but God” and “If you have God at the center, you will reach the end,” inspire us to aim higher, live joyfully, and become saints in ordinary life.
