Feast of the Immaculate Conception - Part 1

Eucharistic Revival

Mass and Community

Monsignor urges us - as a community - to recover the habit and attend Mass.

The Fragrance of Christ

"We are the fragrance of Christ. Whatever we do, we must do it the way Jesus did. We need to do it with love." Monsignor Lavalley.

Confession - The Kiss of Christ

All of us are sinners. All of us are loved by God.  Christ comes to us in the Sacrament of Reconciliation. The kiss of Christ is in the Sacrament of Reconciliation.

Stations of the Cross - St. Peter

Monsignor Lavalley meditates on the Stations of the Cross from the vantage of St. Peter.

Solemnity of Mary

The Father said, "This is my Son in whom I am well pleased. Listen to him." At the Wedding at Cana, his mother said, "Do as he tells you." Listen to him. Do as he tells you.

He is Near! - Evening 3.

Monsignor Lavalley wraps up his Advent mission at Holy Name of Jesus parish. Evening 3.  He offers thoughts on St. Peter, a broken church, and us. "Are you broken? Are you broken?” he asks. “St. Therese says, ‘That's where the sun comes in. That's where the Son comes in.’”

He is Near! Evening 2.

Monsignor Lavalley continues his Advent retreat. Evening 2.  "A college student once asked me, 'Father, if you learned that the Eucharist was just a symbol, would it change your life?' And, I said, 'change my life? It would absolutely devastate me - because I would have to adjust to the fact that God loves me less than I thought."

He Is Near - Evening 1

“He is near – An Advent retreat with Monsignor Richard Lavalley.”  First conference. The remarks were given on three successive evenings at Most Holy Name of Jesus church in Morrisville
“We are broken and we are weak. And we are a broken church, and we are weak. We do not save ourselves. Jesus does.”
