    Solemnity of St. Dominic

    Homily | Fr. John Paul Walker On the Solemnity of St. Dominic, Fr. John Paul reflects on how this saint “shook up the Church” by founding a radically new form of religious life. Inspired by the words “Behold, I make all things new,” Dominic responded to the Albigensian heresy with itinerant friars who were well-formed in truth, lived in evangelical poverty, and preached with the authority of the Pope for the salvation of souls. Drawing from those who knew Dominic personally, Fr. John Paul shares vivid portraits of his integrity, cheerfulness, constant study of Scripture, and wide embrace of charity. He also invites us to consider how the Lord desires to make each of us new today.

    DWD - Whose Side Are You On?

    Drinking with Dominicans (DWD) | Fr. Louis Bethea In a world marked by deep polarization—from politics and sports rivalries to tensions within the Church itself—Fr. Louis Bethea asks the pointed question: “Whose side are you on?” Drawing on Scripture, current statistics, and the Dominican tradition, he explores what true polarization looks like: becoming entrenched in our positions, abandoning the search for truth, and dehumanizing those who disagree with us. Fr. Louis offers practical principles for navigating this reality as Catholics: seeking wisdom to order our priorities toward salvation, honestly pursuing truth even through disagreement, and acting with charity, mercy, empathy, and humility toward others. The goal is not false peace at the expense of truth, but genuine unity rooted in the dignity of every person made in God’s image.

    DWD - I Don't Buy It

    DWD | Fr. Raphael Arteaga In this Drinking with Dominicans talk titled “I Don’t Buy It,” Fr. Raphael Arteaga maps the modern landscape of skepticism—fake news, AI-generated images, deepfakes, and the philosophical currents (scientism, empiricism, Cartesian doubt, brain-in-a-vat theories) that feed our cultural distrust of truth and the senses. He then carefully distinguishes opinion, doubt, knowledge, and belief, showing that natural faith in the testimony of others is something we rely on every day and that supernatural faith is a reasonable, grace-enabled assent to God who is Truth Himself. The talk closes with an invitation to bring both intellectual and moral obstacles into the light of the Church so that the gift of faith can take deeper root.

    DWD - Yacht Rock

    DWD | Br. Samuel Trecost In this Drinking with Dominicans talk, Br. Samuel Trecost explores “Yacht Rock and the Good Life”—using the smooth, leisure-loving music of the late 1970s and early 1980s as a window into our culture’s obsession with comfort and escapism. He contrasts that mindset with a rich theology of work drawn from Scripture, St. Paul, Genesis, and St. John Paul II’s Laborem Exercens, showing how ordinary labor participates in God’s ongoing creation, forms us in virtue, and keeps us from becoming busybodies. The talk closes by acknowledging what leisure gets right: the quiet ache beneath even our best moments of rest is a longing for the lasting joy of heaven. Enjoy your weekends—and your workdays—both can be paths to holiness.

    Do Not Be Afraid of Fragility: The Vocation of Grandparents and the Elderly

    HOMILY | Fr. John Paul Walker In this homily, Fr. John Paul Walker marks the World Day for Grandparents and the Elderly, near the feast of Saints Joachim and Anne. Drawing on Pope Leo, he invites the elderly—and all of us—to see aging not as decline but as a unique vocation. He acknowledges the real fragility of later life: physical limits, loneliness, and spiritual questions. Yet he delivers a hopeful message: “Do not be afraid of fragility.” In weakness, God’s power is made perfect. The elderly remain missionaries—witnesses of hope and faith to their families, fellow residents in care facilities, and a world that needs their hard-won wisdom.Fr. Walker shares the story of his Polish grandmother, a prayer warrior whose intercession and simple acts of charity helped shape his priesthood. Her life shows the spiritual power God uniquely gives to the weak. This episode encourages grandparents and the elderly—“Christ is counting on you. The Church needs you”—while challenging the rest of us to honor and learn from them.

    A Dangerous Parable

    HOMILY | Fr. John Paul Walker Fr. John Paul Walker delivers a powerful and challenging reflection on the Parable of the Sower in this homily titled A Dangerous Parable. Though one of the most familiar stories Jesus ever told, Fr. Walker warns that this parable can be spiritually hazardous. We naturally place ourselves in the “rich soil” category and look down on the rocky, thorny, or path-side soils—opening the door to the deadliest sin of all: pride. Instead of self-congratulation, Fr. John Paul invites us to examine our own hearts with honesty. Whether you struggle with regret over past choices or want to grow in wisdom for the future, this episode offers clear, grace-filled guidance rooted in Scripture, Tradition, and everyday experience.

    DWD Trust the Vibes

    DWD Trust the Vibes | Drinking with Dominicans Fr. John Paul Walker delivers a practical and profound talk on making good decisions through the lens of Catholic theology. Drawing on St. Thomas Aquinas and classical anthropology, he explores the three powers of the human soul—intellect, will, and passions—and how sin disrupts their proper ordering (with the classic charioteer and horses analogy). Learn key questions to ask yourself before deciding, the difference between everyday decision-making and vocational discernment, the central role of the virtue of prudence, and how to avoid common pitfalls like emotional impulses, peer pressure, information overload, or “trusting the vibes.” Fr. John Paul uses relatable examples (late-night texts to exes, cookie temptation, family pressures) and addresses real-life scenarios in the engaging Q&A that follows. Whether you struggle with regret over past choices or want to grow in wisdom for the future, this episode offers clear, grace-filled guidance rooted in Scripture, Tradition, and everyday experience.

    Homily - Dominicans in the Solomon Islands

    Archbishop Cardone returns to St. Gertrude’s to celebrate Mass, marking his 40th anniversary as a Dominican priest and 25th as a bishop.

Drawing from 37 years of missionary work in the Solomon Islands, he unpacks today’s Gospel: Come to Jesus, take up His yoke, and learn from Him. Hear inspiring stories of conversion, community building, and the Holy Spirit’s work in growing the local Church.
