Making Disciples When Culture is Against Us | Ascension Sunday

Homily - Father's Day

Fr. John Paul critiques how modern culture—via TV ads, feminism, the sexual revolution, abortion, and gender ideology—portrays fathers as inept buffoons and erodes authentic masculinity. He calls us to reclaim God-given fatherhood modeled on the Heavenly Father, Jesus, and St. Joseph: loving, protective, and open to life in marriage. Includes a call to pray for priests as spiritual fathers.

Homily - It's All His

Fr. John Paul shares his powerful reconversion story: a college sophomore dragged to Mass experiences a life review and hears the piercing question, “What have you done for Him in return?” Drawing on the Gospel—“Without cost you have received; without cost you are to give”—he urges us to offer our lives, gifts, and blessings back to God.

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.
