He explains how God, in His love, gives us the Holy Trinity- Father, Son, and Holy Spirit - to guide, strengthen, and sustain us. The Father creates and loves us, the Son redeems and saves us, and the Holy Spirit leads and sanctifies us. Through the Trinity, God continually draws us closer to Himself, reminding us that we are deeply loved and never alone in our struggles. Father Peter encourages us to trust in God's presence and allow the Holy Trinity to work in every aspect of our lives.

Father Peter’s Pentecost homily begins with the familiar tune 'Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star' and a moving story of a young boy who wandered onto a concert stage and began playing. Rather than sending him away, the pianist wrapped his arms around the child and played alongside him, transforming a simple melody into something beautiful. Father Peter connects this image to Pentecost: like the disciples, we are often weak, uncertain, and incapable on our own, but the Holy Spirit comes alongside us, strengthening and guiding us. Pentecost reminds us that God does not leave us to fulfill our mission alone—He works through us, turning our small efforts into something far greater through the power of the Holy Spirit.

In this homily for the Ascension of the Lord, Father Peter reflects on the promise that the risen and ascended Christ remains with us always — in our heartbreaks, fears, joys, and daily struggles. Christ is present in the Eucharist, in His Church, in the poor and the needy, and in the faces of those around us. Because He remains with us, we are sent out to carry His love into the world. The Ascension is not an ending — it is a mission. As disciples, we are called to recognize Christ’s presence and become witnesses of His love to others.

On the Sixth Sunday of Easter, Fr. Peter reflects on St. Peter’s call to always be ready to give a reason for our hope and faith. He challenges us to think honestly about how we would respond if someone asked us why we believe in Jesus - or why our faith matters. With a little humor, Fr. Peter gives the parish “two weeks of homework” before Pentecost: be ready with your answer. As we prepare for the coming of the Holy Spirit, this homily invites us to move beyond routine faith and learn how to speak about Christ with sincerity, confidence, and joy.

Father Peter reflects on the joy and reality of the Resurrection- not just as a moment in history, but as a living truth that transforms our everyday lives. He reminds us that, like the apostles, we are often caught between doubt and hope, yet Christ meets us exactly there. Through the empty tomb, we are invited to move from fear to faith, from death to new life. Easter is not just something we celebrate—it’s something we are called to live. No matter what we carry, the Resurrection proves that nothing is beyond God’s power to redeem.
