It is a great honor to be called to this position but it does sadden me very much that I will not be able to remain as the Pastor of Mary Star of the…See More

March 18, 2012Fourth Sunday of Lent: 2 Chr 36:14-16, 19-23; Eph 2:4-10; Jn 3:14-21 One of my favorite stories is that of a famous scientist who after giving a lecture was asked what had most shaped his life. He responded that he had started off as a misbehaving child that moved from one school to another because of his lack of control. Finally his mother put him in a Catholic school. On the first day of class he stepped in the room and was startled when he saw the crucifix on the wall. He…See More

First Sunday of Lent: Gn 9:8-15; 1 Pt 3:18-22; Mk 1:12-15
The Sunday readings for lent begin with God's Covenant with Noah and his sons after the great flood where it rained for forty days and forty nights. The following are some good points that we can learn from Noah: Don't miss the boat. Don't forget that we're all in the same boat. Plan ahead, it wasn't raining when Noah built the ark. Stay fit, when you're 600 years old, someone might ask you…

My Rooney Thoughts for May 27, 2012 There are times when we must send our children to a place where we can’t protect them, a place of chaos, disorder and uncertainty. It’s a place of upheaval, bewilderment and death. It’s a place where our politicians like to say “they gave their last full measure of devotion.” To a few are given medals to honor their deeds, others just get a simple white stone cross or Star of David. These brave men and women have fought all over the world—they did not…See More
