The links below provide the text of Fr. Joe's homilies during his 2010–2023 tenure as pastor of St. Catherine's. These texts are gracefully provided by Fr. Joe to be re-read and shared as the Spirit may drive you. In his homily on June 16, 2023, Fr. Joe introduced and transferred the helm to our new pastor, Fr. John, as our new shepherd. These historical Fr. Joe homilies are in no way intended to substitute for homilies presented during Masses going forward.
The Sunday Mass readings (the "Lectionary") follow a three-year cycle: Cycle A, Cycle B, Cycle C. The 2024 liturgical year that began with Advent 2023 follows Cycle B: years 2021, 2024, 2027, and so on are thereby all Cycle B years. Cycle C is 2019, 2022, 2025, and so on; Cycle A is 2020, 2023, 2026, and so on.
The homilies are ordered chronologically and provided with a themed title for easier perusal. In the Cycle A (6/16/2023) edition, we organized Fr. Joe's homilies of the 2020 and 2023 (to his departure) liturgical years. The Cycle B (3/19/24) edition covers all his 2021 and 2018 homilies, and some 2015, 2012 homilies.
The homilies' e-books list more instructionson how to weave your way through Fr. Joe's wealth of inspirational thoughts and calls-to-action shared with us over the years:- Cycle A (2023, 2020, 2017, 2014, and 2011 Fr. Joe years') Homilies
