En este episodio, compartimos la visión para el PSA 2026, con tres metas claras: nuevas puertas y chapas para el campus, e inversión en la próxima generación a través de la Escuela Bíblica de Vacaciones, la Conferencia Steubenville y la Conferencia SEEK. También escuchamos cómo el PSA apoya a sacerdotes jubilados, diáconos, seminaristas, Escuelas Católicas y Caridades Católicas.

Además, nos preparamos para el Miércoles de Ceniza y el inicio de la Cuaresma, una oportunidad para invitar a otros a regresar a la iglesia.

En la homilía “Quemados por Fuego, Sanados por Agua,” reflexionamos sobre nuestra libertad para elegir entre el bien y el mal, y cómo el enojo, la lujuria y la mentira pueden quemarnos, mientras que el perdón, la pureza y la verdad nos conducen a las aguas sanadoras de la gracia de Dios.

In this episode, Fr. Martin shares the vision for the 2026 PSA Campaign, inviting parishioners to invest in campus improvements and in the next generation through youth and young adult formation. He also encourages everyone to invite loved ones to Ash Wednesday as Lent begins.

In his homily, “Burned by Fire, Healed by Water,” inspired by Sirach 15:16–17, he reflects on how our choices shape us—especially in the areas of anger, lust, and lies. Jesus calls us to move from resentment to forgiveness, from impurity to purity, and from dishonesty to integrity, so that we may experience the healing waters of God’s grace.

On Super Bowl Sunday, Fr. Martin begins with a lighthearted nod to the big game before turning to two meaningful moments in parish life. We celebrate World Marriage Sunday with a beautiful and prayerful blessing for married couples, inviting spouses to renew their commitment and love for one another. We also warmly welcome Matt Bonfadini, a new seminarian sent by the Diocese to live in residence at St. Joseph Parish through May, where he will experience parish life, mentorship, and community.

Fr. Martin then offers a short and memorable homily titled “Are You Salt or Are You Salty?” Drawing from Jesus’ call to be the salt of the earth, he explores the difference between bringing life, healing, and preservation to others versus becoming grumpy, irritable, or spiritually “over-seasoned.” With humor, relatable examples, and a gentle challenge, this reflection invites us to examine our attitudes at home, at work, and in our faith—and to choose once again to be life-giving disciples.
