Finding Comfort in Troubled Waters | Fr. Christian Shiu (Homily)

"Like a bridge over troubled water, I will ease your mind..."

If you missed Mass this past weekend (or just want to hear it again!), Fr. Christian’s 11:00 AM homily is now available on our YouTube channel! Opening with a soulful performance of a classic song, Fr. Christian reflects on how God meets us right in the middle of our storms. From Elijah’s quiet whisper on Mount Sinai to Peter sinking in the waves, we are reminded that Jesus doesn't ask us to climb up to Him—He reaches down to grab our hand and pull us into safety. Take 12 minutes out of your day to watch, reflect, and find a little peace.

We are always open to new people joining us and can start new groups as we continue to grow.
