St. Gertrude Parish Podcast

Making Disciples When Culture is Against Us | Ascension Sunday

With faith declining sharply (especially among Gen Z), Fr. John Paul urges us to move away from old “Christendom” thinking — the assumption that society supports faith automatically — and instead adopt an apostolic zeal: knowing Christ personally and actively making disciples. In this powerful Ascension homily, he explains Jesus’ Great Commission and our call to evangelize in today’s post-Christian culture.

Homily - Living Stones

Father John Paul reflects on us as “living stones” being built into God’s spiritual house. We must stay close to Jesus, the true Cornerstone, so His life can flow through us and strengthen the whole parish community.

2026 Easter Vigil

Fr. John Paul Walker's Easter Vigil homily connects the evening rain to Isaiah’s promise that God’s word will water the earth and bear fruit. He proclaims Christ’s victorious resurrection, conquering sin, death, and hell, and rejoices that 28 new Catholics will soon receive the sacraments of initiation. Inviting all to share the holy women’s “fearful yet overjoyed” awe at the empty tomb, he calls the parish to let the Risen Christ’s life fill and transform them.
