Message From Father Karl

Once again, we hear a story about a wedding reception. People wait for the bridegroom, who arrives late. Unfortunately, the attendants were asleep. Half of the attendants had thought ahead and were prepared for the delay. The others hadn't prepared and didn't attend the reception.


This familiar parable is often heard as a lesson in preparedness. But perhaps it is also a story about faithful waiting. What sustains us when God's timing is different from our own? I hope you'll join us as we reflect on that question together in 2026.

See you Sunday,

Father Karl
