Recent Homilies

A homily is defined as a religious discourse that is intended primarily for spiritual edification rather than doctrinal instruction; a sermon.  They follow the scripture readings and relate them to everyday life and current events to show that the teachings of Jesus are as relevant today as they were 2,000 years ago.  Here are some recent homilies from the clergy of St. John the Baptist.
