    • Be Inspired...

      Fr. Brian's weekly video messages have inspired many! He recorded his first message on March 20th, 2020, shortly after COVID-19 was officially labeled a pandemic. It was his way to connect and unify his flock during a time that was filled with more questions than answers. As we were forced to stay home and Masses were suspended, he made the deliberate decision to ‘tend to His sheep.’ Since then, his vision has grown to one that answers the call and need of people everywhere searching for the meaning and purpose of their lives in Christ Jesus.

      To the left is the most recent of his video messages, and below are all his previous messages. ALL of the Collaborative's video presentations can be found on our YouTube channel. Fr. Brian's videos can be found in the playlist entitled "Fr. Brian's Weekly Inspiration."
