The meaning in every Mass we celebrate at Central Catholic is remembering the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ, our Savior. Our Mass last week, during Catholic schools week, focused on Catholic education and its transformative power.  Archbishop Gustavo delivered a clear message that our hope, even in the most difficult of times, is always in the person of Jesus Christ, who is our redeemer. The Archbishop also spoke about the power of faith, and that even having the faith the size of a mustard seed can allow that faith to grow, mature, and change things for the better.

A memorable and meaningful moment from the Mass was when Paul Garro asked Father Sean to offer a blessing for the Archbishop. Father Sean recalls: “It brought back great memories of the day the Archbishop ordained me at the University of Dayton. It reminded me that the call of being a priest is to be the Good Shepherd of leading all to Christ and never giving up even when times are tough. It was humbling to bless Archbishop Gustavo who is an excellent model for leadership, and a Good Shepherd for our Church.”
