- The Daily Message
  
  What can I return to the Lord for all the many blessings He has given me? In today's message, we hear parishioner Maria Georgopoulos, who spoke at this past Sunday's Mass, giving witness to her Church family, the gift of the Holy Spirit, and all that has been given. Maria speaks to the Grateful Discipleship Program, pointing to this initiative as an opportunity for each of us to give to God in gratitude for all His many blessings.
