Father Francis Xavier Pierz Area Catholic Community

Why is it the "Holy Sacrifice of the Mass?"

In this talk, we explore the collapse of sacrifice as the core driver of today’s turmoil: what true sacrifice is (offertory, slaying of the victim, consummation), how Christ fulfills it, how the Holy Mass makes it present, and how the laity participate both at Mass and in daily life. The liturgy’s God-centered aim, the danger of choosing lesser goods over greater ones, and the powerful call from Fatima: “Make everything you can a sacrifice.”

The Good news / the Gospel Message

We exist to proclaim the Good News, to share Christ's love to save souls, make disciples, and become saints. 

In this video, Fr. John Riccardo explains the basic gospel message and asks us how are we going to share the Good News?
