BUILDING ON THE WORD VIDEOS
Short Videos & Reflections from Fr. Smiga are consciously created to be short, free, and relevant to the spiritual questions of modern culture. Each video begins with human experience—posing a truth, question, or issue common to everyone—and then connects it to both a scripture passage and key aspect of Catholic belief:

"A GOD WHO QUESTIONS"
by Leonard DeLorenzo

This is our parish's pilgrimage for this Lenten Season! "A God Who Questions" examines 20 questions asked in Scripture and shows us how they reveal the hidden secrets of our hearts and invite a true encounter with God. This is a six-week, once a week gathering that will be conducted via zoom at Holy Faith. Each meeting is dedicated to prayer, discussion, and personal reflection. It is free of charge and can also be done individually, with families, or with friends. (McGraw Institute for Church Life, University of Notre Dame)

Lenten Disciplines
. Rules on Fasting & Abstinence (from the USCCB)
. A Reflection on Lenten Fasting
by Rev. Daniel Merz (USCCB)
"...the Eucharist is always the end of a preparation. It is always the fulfillment of an expectation....But how did fasting become such an important means of preparing for the Eucharist and of learning virtue through self-discipline? Christian fasting is revealed in an interdependence between two events in the Bible: the "breaking of the fast" by Adam and Eve; and the "keeping of the fast" by Christ at the beginning of his ministry..." read more
