At all of our Masses, the homily will focus on a specific theme over a series of weeks. From week to week we build on the theme, which is based on the Scripture Readings, and explore it from different angles. It also includes relevant weekly digital content online including video reflections and journal questions to go deeper into the theme on your own or in a small group.
Nope! This is so much more! It is one part of a bigger picture: becoming closer and closer followers of Jesus Christ. Through themes throughout the year, we seek to focus on particular aspects of being followers of Jesus Christ to mature and grow stronger together.
It makes sense to focus over a period of time on a theme because it takes focus, persistence, and continuity for a theme to really settle into our minds and hearts.
No matter who we are or where we are on our faith journey, we can always develop more in our identity as followers of Jesus Christ. The homily series gives us time and space to be intentional. Focusing intentionally on a theme in order to follow Jesus Christ more closely helps us remain focused on our Christ-given mission.

Homily series are designed so that the weekend homily "kicks off" a topic within the overall series theme. The video and discussion questions, which are sent out and posted on the Monday following the homily, are meant to take you even deeper into that topic. You can watch the video and reflect on the questions on your own, or get a few friends together each week and make it a small group discussion. We grow better when we grow together!
