Journeying with the Heart of Christ

✨ From the Pastor’s Desk

Sacred Journeys and Grateful Blessings
Fr. Skip joyfully reflects on the parish pilgrimage that took 28 faithful pilgrims from Athens and the Greek Isles to Ephesus, Medjugorje, and Montenegro. The journey was more than travel—it was a walk of faith, prayer, and deeper conversion. From the steps of St. Paul’s preaching in Corinth to the home of the Blessed Virgin Mary in Ephesus, the group experienced God’s presence in history, beauty, and fellowship. “How good it is to be home,” Fr. Skip shares, giving thanks for safe travels and the grace of shared faith.
