  • Homilies: Presentation of the lord Feb. 2, 2025
    Feb 1 2025

    For some people their god may take the form of money, or a nation, or an economic system, or social achievement, or race, or religion or family. For some people who consider themselves "good Catholics," it may be a particular form of piety or Church structure. In all these cases, devotees hope to gain special advantages by their devotion.

    About the Speaker: Father William J Grimm is a Maryknoll Missioner of 40 year’s experience in Asia-mostly Japan, Hong Kong and Cambodia.

  • Observations: Speaking truth to power
    Jan 30 2025

    Parrhesia, speaking truth to power, is an important part of the prophetic ministry of the Church. It is seldom popular among those at whom it is directed, as can be seen when an Episcopal bishop in the United States confronted the president of that country in a sermon that has provoked both praise and condemnation. Father William Grimm shares some thoughts on this.
