Archbishop Lori Homily: Feast of Our Lady of Czestochowa
August 26, 2026Archbishop William E. Lori
Coming through the doors of this retreat house, many pilgrims, we hope and pray, will experience the peace of Christ. May they find here a place of quiet, a place of refuge, a place of prayer, where they can grow in all knowledge and wisdom, truth and love, where they can allow Mary to lead them more deeply into the mystery of Christ.

Yes, it is good to succeed in our chosen fields. To find happiness in our vocations and daily work. To leave the world a better place than we found it. But unless we are leading a transfigured life capable of amazing the world, unless we are manifesting the glory of God in Christ Jesus, we are not aiming high enough!

“Holy Family has been there for the community going back eight, nine generations,” Deacon Roscher said. “The demographics have changed, but not the spirit of the church.”

Current pastor Father Raymond Harris, who is also celebrating his 10th anniversary serving the parish, couldn’t agree more. He said the theme for the 150th anniversary is “Giving Glory to God.”
