Homily | Twenty-ninth Sunday in Ordinary Time | October 19, 2025

Fr. Matt reflected on Catholic social teaching and the death penalty, reminding us that every human life—no matter the crime—has God-given dignity. He explained that justice must aim for protection, rehabilitation, and mercy, not revenge. Drawing on recent Church teaching declaring the death penalty inadmissible, he urged us to pray for victims and offenders alike and to help build a society that protects life from conception to natural death.
