Saturday Feb. 21st: I’m at our residence in Houston. Will be 80 degrees today. I am exercising then setting up my books at St. Cecilia’s Church at 1 pm today. I preach the 5 pm tonight, Sunday 8/10 am and 5 pm Mass homilies. Then Mon-Wed. 8:15 am Mass and 7 pm evening service, all talks different in content. All welcome!

Finalizing my homily for this weekend at St. Cecilia’s. Next Friday I will be flying to Venice, FL. for their parish mission at OLOL parish.

If you are wondering how to have a fruitful Lent, I suggest my book: Your Best Lent Ever. Lots of practical ideas and strategies and information about Lent and what this great season is.

My book: Thorns have Roses, third and fourth printing are now printed and in Houston. We are packing them and mailing them out! Thank you for your patience!! You will get your books soon. It will be worth the wait.
