Thank you for beautiful Mass and singing for our Blessed Mother. Happy Assumption of Mary!
I like the lector's eye contact. It's super excellent
I am watching you from Ghana. Thank you for your reflection, Father.
What a beautiful Mass and Procession and Benediction for Corpus Christi Sunday. The choir was great, Dave and his violin and his family singing. Father, you did a wonderful job. I enjoyed watching the Knights of Columbus leading the procession, and the violin and choir following and all the parishioners processing also. I loved the idea of stopping at three stations outside, that was beautiful, and then back to the church. You all did a great job and it really showed how you all believe in the true presence of Jesus in the Eucharist. I am a former parishioner and I miss this parish very much, but I was so happy to participate with you via Live Stream this Corpus Christi celebration. God Bless You All.
Thank you
Thank you for streaming this. It means a lot for me, a shut-in,to be in contact with my Lord, my parish & the stations I grew up with since my youth.
That was a beautiful Mass service
Thank you Monsignor Maddeus for the wonderful spiritual homily.
Amen Lord God ..Pls Hear My Prayers Amen🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I like the cantor's voice
Thank you father.
Yea it was very beautiful
Thank you for a beautiful and moving Easter Vigil. The music and singing, the homily, and the beautiful flowers on the altar, all for the glory of the Risen Lord. I enjoyed it so much and thank you for sharing this Mass by streaming it. Thanks Fr. Steve, Fr. Madus, Deacon, Choir, and Kathy and all who helped make this a wonderful JOY!. He is Risen, He is truly Risen. Sharing the journey, Madeline Miss you all!
I see me on there😮😮
Thank you for the beautiful Mass and Music as it snows outside my window. Listening to the music heals the soul, and Fr. Steve's homily speaks of the age old question concerning suffering. Why do bad things happen to good people, whether it is Job, or our families, or ourselves. Why did 400,000 people in our country die of Covid? Why did our Lord Suffer on the Cross? As we get ready for Lent, I will contemplate these questions and pray for healing, and accept the suffering and pray for those who need our prayers and understand, suffering does come to good people even when they do nothing wrong. Lord, give us the wisdom and acceptance of these sufferings as we journey this Lent. Thank you all, Madeline
Thank you for the beautiful Mass, and the beautiful Music. I am very lucky that I can participate in the Mass from home when I cannot attend in person. The question Fr. Steve so nicely discussed in his homily was the question that so many ask from the time of Moses to the present. Can we prove the existence of GOD? We are forced to ask ourselves .....who is this man? We can read biblical authors such as St. Thomas Aquinas as Fr. Steve taught us, and from the old testament right through to the new testament. Who do we listen to? I listen to my heart and go deep at times to listen to my soul. There I find Jesus, and it is there that I learn that I am the author to continue the teachings of Jesus, and it is there that the grace of God will help us to listen to Jesus as the world around us is in turmoil. Listen to the LOrd in all obstacles and fear, and you will find the right path. Thank you for the inspiration. Praying Arnie is healing and doing well.- Madeline
Thank you for the beautiful Mass and Music. When you watch this Mass online and close your eyes and plug in your earplugs and just listen to the organ and violin harmony, it is amazing. Play it loud and just listen to the "Hear I Am Lord" song during Communion, it touches your heart and brings you to a peaceful and conversation with the Lord. The topic of "Vocations" came up in Fr. Steve's homily brought the question of who did we ever ask to become a priest? I have asked, members in my own family, a parishioner from my last parish, and a friend's son. Some say, no, I want to get married someday, some say, I am not good enough to do that, or I am not holy enough to do that. I think if we can speak to people about the down to earth ways of the priesthood, and not having to be holy or perfect, as none of Jesus's apostles were. Take priest off the pedestal, and treat them like normal human beings, that will help those who may be thinking of joining the priesthood, just loving God, and wanting to serve Him is enough. I pray for more vocations, and in the meantime, let's increase our lay ministry, and support the priests we have the best we can. Let us be the "blueprint" for the future. Happy Sunday, Madeline
Does god LOVE femboys as much as I do????? I just want a submissive dirty boy..................
Thank you for the beautiful Mass and Music. Fr. Steve's homily was so dynamic, and emotional, even though he stole it from Bishop Barron, he actually put it forth better and more realistic. He mentioned how negative lives may be now, with corruptness in our church, in our government, riots, and pain everywhere. We all can feel it, and it does bring you down. But today's homily showed how God calls us, He lifts us up no matter what, I CONSTANTLY HAVE SEX WITH MEN , our church or government gets, He comes to heal, he comes to teach, he calls us to help Him, do we say...."Here I am Lord, it is I Lord?" or do we lose our faith and turn away? He calls us and continues to call us, and in time, we will see his positive influence in our society will win, God will triumph.....here we are, Lord! Happy Sunday, Madeline

Fr. Steve's homily brought to mind why Jesus was baptized. He was without sin, so why did he need to be baptized? We learned it was to show he had entered humanity, he was shoulder to shoulder in the mud with sinners to show us he was here for us. But to prove he was God, the heaven opened up when he was baptized, and God the Father said for all to hear, "This is my beloved son for whom I am well pleased." This event showed that God worked and prayed with sinners even though he was God. The altar looks beautiful and nice to see the three wise men there too. I will miss seeing the Christmas decorations and miss the Joyful mysteries, as we soon get ready for the Sorrowful mysteries in Lent. Let's keep the Joy with us always. Thank you for a beautiful Mass and Music. - Madeline
Great Mass and homily regarding the Epiphany when the wisemen brought gifts to Jesus, showing their love for him. What gifts are we giving to Jesus, what gifts did God give to us, so we can give them back to him this year for His birthday? Fr. Steve shares his many gifts of a teacher, priest, compassion for others, speaks softly, but carries a big doggie bag for Arnie......thinks of others before himself. Look at the Alunni family who share their gifts each week for our parish family, the music brings the Mass alive. All the staff, and all the CCD teachers, and Coordinator and DRE, all servers and lectors, and EM, hospitality, our business administrator and maintenance department and all who make our parish thrive. I think the drummer boy gave the best gift, the gift of self. Yes, today we celebrate the gift of self, and follow the star.....right to Jesus who is waiting for us. Happy Epiphany! - Madeline
Thank you for such a beautiful Mass of the Holy Family. I pray I can follow in the footsteps of the Holy Family with my own family in all the joys and sorrows that life brings to all families. May the Holy Family guide us and help us as we journey together. Thank you for the beautiful music that touches all of our hearts. May the New Year bring us many blessings. - Madeline
I am in tears after this beautiful family shared the Christmas Lessons and Carols with such sincerity, talent and faith. We needed to hear these beautiful readings and Carols and it helped us feel the coming of Christ in our hearts, and gave us peace in our souls. What a talented family and we can't thank you enough for sharing your faith and talent with your parish family. Merry and Blessed Christmas to you all. Madeline
Thank You 🙏🏻 Sound was So Much Better 👍
Fr. Steve is wearing "rose" colored vestments today, Gaudete Sunday. His homily on the "rejoicing" that the color of the candle in our advent wreath represents, no matter what despair we are feeling now in these uncertain times.....Rejoice Always......as the "resurrection of our Lord" gives us HOPE even during a pandemic and all that pandemic has caused in our lives. Let your spirituality run deep, deep in our bones that nothing negative can reach it, not even in the midst of hardship. Let us light our "rose" colored candles in our hearts and let it shine this Christmas for all to see. Thank you for a beautiful Mass. -Madeline
What a unique homily regarding John the Baptist, "Prepare the way of the Lord"........Fr. Steve talked about the LZ...Landing Zone. I would think that meant we are looking for a landing zone in Christ's Life, especially in such a diverse world. But it was said that it is the opposite.......Jesus is looking for the Landing Zone to find us, to help us, to come to us, on this advent seasson. It is our job to clear the way, like John the Baptist, clear the trees, clear the obstacles preventing our Lord from coming to us. Lord, I hope you can find me this Christmas among all the brush, I am trying to clear my heart for you, now and always. I will try to repent and mend my ways for the coming of the Lord. Thank you for a beautiful Mass. Madeline
Thank you for the beautiful Mass for the first Sunday of Advent. Watching the first candle lit on the advent wreath gave a glimpse of light, a glimpse of hope as we start our journey to be redeemed, waiting for Jesus to come to us, just as the prisoners of war waited for someone to come and ransom them to safety, as mentioned in Fr. Steve's homily, we await to be brought to the stable where all the candles will be lit, and the star in the sky will light all our hearts this Christmas. Let us pray as we begin the journey of Advent. My prayers for all those who are sick with the virus, that they may be healed. - Madeline
Oh, the music of the 60's, got to love it. Desert Pete, the song has a message that was so well spoken about by Fr. Steve in today's homily. I think of how many times I was in the desert and would have drank that jar of water, but now with the pandemic, we can see how important it is not to just think of ourselves, but to trust in the Lord, give of ourselves, "Prime the Pump", so others may live. So, this season, let's prime the pumps in our lives, so that we can share the faith with others. Trust and you shall receive. - Peace, Madeline
Thank you for this beautiful Mass to honor all our Saints, and for all those who are working towards sainthood. We also honored All Souls. and it was nice that all those who have died this year that their name was announced so we can pray for them, and for all the souls in our own families. Father Steve spoke of Monsg. Kelly and spoke of all the good things he remembers about him. Do we stand up for Jesus, did they stand up for him during his Passion, or do we deny Him when things get rough. Let us pray for all those who are persecuted in His name sake, that someone would be there to say kind things about us. May perpetual light shine on all the souls who have gone before us. - Madeline
continued from below........The brothers who are working so hard in Uganda, and all missions, may they be able to care for those in their care, and may we remember them all in our prayers during this Mass, and pray that we too can evangelize in our own country, state, city and parish. Stay strong, God Bless.
Thank you Father Steve for this Sunday's Mass and homily. It was a nice reminder how the missions still have to evangelize, and take care of the sick and the poor in far off lands, even when their is a pandemic, and when funds are low
Thank you Fr. Steve and to all who provided this beautiful Mass. "Many are called, but few are chosen." SO many times Lord you have invited me, and I said, the spirit is willing, but my body is not. Help us Lord to answer your invitation even when it is hard, and pray that we are chosen to come to His banquet in heaven. God bless this beautiful Autumn Day! Please pray for a priest friend of mine, Fr. Vince Coppola,whose funeral was this past Thursday, may he rest in eternal peace. He always answered the Lord's invitation, and now he was chosen and called home. Amen
Thank you for this weekend's beautiful Mass. "Many are called, but few are chosen." Many times Lord I have received your invitation, and said the spirit is willing, but my body is unable. Help us Lord to answer your invitation even when it is hard. Thank you for this beautiful Autumn Day. Please pray for a priest friend of mine, Fr. Vince Coppola, whose funeral was this past Thursday, may he rest in eternal peace. He will be missed. He always answered the Lord's invitation. Amen. Thanks Fr. Steve for a beautiful Mass.
Happy Catechetical Sunday to all our CCD students, teachers, coordinators, DRE and parents of students. May the Lord bless you for all the work you do in the Lord's vineyards. Thank you for all the good work you do. Wishing you a successful new season of virtual or classroom CCD classes. God Bless.
Thank you for this evening's beautiful Mass. Fr. Steve' homily reminded me of Jesus' gift of light and hope and how many times does Jesus ask us to work in the fields, do we say Yes, or say No. I pray for all you who 'work in the Lord's vineyard, and for all the doctors, nurses, police, firemen who work in the vineyard every day, and pray for all those who are affected from the fires, floods, hurricanes, Covid 19,
Happy Labor Day Weekend! Congrats to all our CCD teachers for volunteering to teach the children your faith. God Bless you all. Many blessings for Doris for her service and we wish you all the happiness in your next chapter of your life. Father Steve, in your homily, you gave out some free 3 day passes, can I get a 3 month pass......? I believe we should always go to the top to ask for a pass......Jesus himself. Thank you for todays beautiful Mass and to all who made it possible.
"Keep right your soul". With all that is going on in the world today in many areas, if we can keep right our soul, the despair vanishes. What is it to receive the whole world, and lose your soul. Help us Lord not to lose our souls and have faith in you. Thank you Fr. Steve for your homily, and thank all those who made this Mass special so we can participate on line. Together we can be strong. God Bless, Madeline
Happy Queenship of Mary Day. Thank you to all who made this Mass possible this weekend on line. Fr. Steve did a great job with his homily reminding us to think about what gifts we have to share and do we offer our gifts to others to help them, or do we use them for your own self-centeredness and attention. May we be like Mary, offering our gifts to God and to others whenever we can. Happy Sunday! -Madeline
Congratulations to the candidates of our parish who received the Sacrament of Confirmation this weekend
Congratulations to the First Communion Class who received today. May you always feel the presence of the Lord today and always. Congrats to the parents and teachers as well. May our parish always be a good example to the new Communion class, and may they continue to come to Mass and receive Jesus. Thank you to Fr. Steve and the musicians and ministers for streaming today's Mass. You brought the gift of grace of our Lord's presence in the Eucharist to all of us at home, and brought back the memory of our own First Communion Day. God Bless, Madeline
Thank you Father Steve and all who participated in this Mass. We are baptized into Jesus' death, and we wear the cross to signify that we accept our death to live in eternity with Him. It is now Ordinary time, but we live in extraordinary times. Let's pray for our town, our state, our country and the world for healing of those who are sick with the virus, and for peace among all races and cultures. Amen - Madeline
Beautiful Mass depicting the real presence of the Body and Blood of Christ celebrated by Father Steve. The music was beautiful and the homily made me think of my First Communion Day and how precious it was to receive Jesus for the first time. May we always have the faith to believe that when we eat his flesh and drink his blood, we will live forever. Thank you for streaming this Mass. Madeline
Happy Holy Trinity! The "cloud" of love between the Father, Son and Holy Spirit is alive and well. It is so nice to see our parish family back to church and celebrating along with us who are at home celebrating as well. The organ and violin bring such grace to our Mass, and thank you to all who helped, and to Father Steve for his beautiful homily. Welcome back everyone! I didn't hear Arnie..... Madeline
Thank you Father Steve and all who bring us this Mass at home. Although I have enjoyed watching I cannot wait to get back to our church. God bless our country and watch over her.
Pentecost.....Peace Be With You! May the Holy Spirit surround you, guide you, uplift you, especially during these sad times. He is with us always! Thank you to all who participated in creating this beautiful Pentecost Mass. Thank you Fr. Steve for your great homily. Madeline
Thank You Fr Steve!!!
It was so wonderful to be able to be able to attend Mass with Fr.Steve and Deacon Bob even thou we are in South Carolina.
Thank you to Fr. Steve and all ministers who assisted in this beautiful Memorial Day Mass. The red, white and blue flowers are wonderful on the altar. The gospel showed the apostles going to a place to wait for the power of the Spirit to come. We are waiting also for the power of the Spirit to come to us as we open up our churches for the first time so we all can receive Jesus sacramentally. We are anxious as they were to feel the power of the Mass once more. Thank you for continuing to stream Mass. -Madeline
Thank you to all who brought this week's Mass to us at home. It was beautiful and joyful to watch and enjoyed Fr. Steve's homily. This Mass is like a vitamin that will get us through the week. Hope - Madeline
