Everyday Faith
Helping you carry Sunday’s Grace into everyday life
Faith Isn’t Just for Sundays
What we hear at Mass is meant to stick with us, to shape how we show up in real life: at home, at work, in traffic, in line at the grocery store.
But living it out can be tough. That’s why we created Everyday Faith.
Once a week, you’ll get a short email from Fr. Francisco with a reflection based on Sunday’s message, plus a few practical ways to bring that message into the middle of your week.
It’s something you can read over coffee or in a quiet moment between the chaos. A little space to pause, reflect, and remember what really matters.

Who is My Neighbor?

Bringing Everyone Home
A woman came to confession recently, and after a long pause, she said, “Father, I haven’t prayed in years. I don’t even know where to begin.” She sounded tired. A little embarrassed. Disconnected. I...
When Someone Says ‘I’m Fine’ and You Know They’re Not
You ask someone how they’re doing, and they say “fine.” But you can tell they’re not. Their eyes are tired. Their voice is tight. And for a split second, you think about asking again, but you...
For the Days When Faith Feels Hard
You and I live by faith more than we realize. Think about how you spend your time. You pour in effort, care, attention, whether it’s in your work, relationships, home, community, or simply to keep...
How We Usually Pray (and How We Could Do It Better)
Remember that scene in Bruce Almighty where Bruce gets swamped by millions of prayers? "Please let me win the lottery." "Please get me that promotion." "Please make my ex call me back." So what does...
