Chaplain's Message

Dear Sisters in Christ,

As we enter this new quarter together, I find myself reflecting on the

quiet but powerful ways God works through ordinary faithfulness. The

world often celebrates what is loud, fast, and impressive. Yet the Gospel

reminds us that the Kingdom grows in small, steady acts of love—much

like the mustard seed that becomes a sheltering tree.

In my visits with many of you, I see this truth lived out beautifully.

You serve with humility, pray with sincerity, and support one another

with a generosity that speaks louder than any headline. Whether you are

organizing charitable outreach, supporting parish life, or simply offering

a listening ear to someone who needs it, you are participating in God’s

work of renewal.

This quarter, I invite each of us to embrace three spiritual practices

that strengthen our mission:

 Renew your prayer life. Even a few minutes of quiet each day can

reorient the heart toward Christ.

 Seek unity. Our world is fractured, but the Church is called to be a

sign of communion. Let us choose charity over division in all things.

 Serve with joy. When our service flows from love rather than

obligation, it becomes a witness to the hope we carry.

As Catholic Daughters, you are a vital presence in our parish

community. Your commitment to faith, service, and patriotism continues

to inspire me. May this new season bring you deeper peace, renewed

purpose, and the courage to follow the Holy Spirit wherever He leads.

Be assured of my prayers for each of you. May Our Lady, the perfect

model of discipleship, guide your steps and keep you close to her Son.

In Christ,

Deacon Stacy Millsap
