Living Lecture

Here you will find an extensive written explanation, as well as audio clips, all about our parish. These notes were compiled from the "living lecture" that our pastor, Fr. Kevin, first offered on Tuesday, September 24, 2024, in honor of our parish's 70th anniversary.

My brothers and sisters in Christ,
 
The 20^th century Catholic theologian, Hans Urs von Balthasar, once said, “Beauty converts.” The words written here have been done in that spirit, the spirit of beauty. It is my hope that as you read this, and journey through our parish campus, you’ll discover the deeper meaning of what surrounds us – the beauty of the architecture, the nature, the colors, and above all, the crucifix suspended over the altar, reminding us of the God, “who has loved us and given himself for us.” (Ephesians 5:2)

In Christ,

Fr. Kevin Kilgore
