As I sit here admiring the beauty of God's creation, I am reminded of a verse from the Gospel of John 1:3. "Through him all things were made; without him nothing was made that has been made." I hope everyone got to enjoy a small piece of God's creation this weekend. God Bless!

To Him who sits on the throne is all power, and honor and glory! How loving is our God to share this with us?

Fr. Zlock here. As I walk the Wissahickon, I find myself thinking on an important question. What makes a parish? Is it the buildings? The ministries? The events? A modern parish is made up of many parts—but what gives it life? What is its soul? Watch to the end to find out.
