Friends,

I have been on a hiatus of sorts the last few weeks. As we approach the date for the renewal of the Word On Fire subscription we have to make a decision about whether or not to continue the subscription. I have enjoyed bringing you Bishop Barron’s homilies and reflections (among other Catholic teachers) for the last few years. My original intent was to bring uplifting, orthodox Catholic teaching to parishioners outside of the normal avenues of Mass and faith formation gatherings. Another intent was for us to be able to discuss these rich videos/topics in the chat section of this format as well as giving the laity an opportunity to access quality Catholic instruction from the Word On Fire website. These, it seems, were not utilized as I had hoped. With that being said, I believe this avenue of instruction has run its course and the parish’s finances can be better spent on other faith formation options. Even though the option to access the WOF subscription website will go away it does not mean you will not be able to access Bishop Barron’s plethora of videos and homilies. His YouTube channel will still carry most of these and more at no charge. I encourage you all to continue to listen to his faith filled homilies and teachings through that medium. Thank you for your support of this endeavor and I hope to see you all at Mass or at my Wednesday evening adult faith formation lessons.

May God richly bless you and St. Cecilia,

Tony Stout

St. Cecilia WOF Administrator

I leave you with one last video. Bishop Barron discusses the "source and summit" of our salvation...Corpus Christi.
