On Indulgences
Fr. Dave Tomaszycki Podcasts
From the noon Mass on Sunday, October 19, 2025 at St. Peter Catholic Church in Mount Clemens, the Twenty-Ninth Sunday in Ordinary Time, Year C. We were supposed to have a guest preacher this week, but he couldn't make it. So, I read the homily he had prepared. The homily is on indulgences and was meant to promote our parish pilgrimage coming upon Sunday, November 2, 2025. We are having a 3pm Mass at the Shrine of Jesus the Divine Mercy, 33826 Beaconsfield St., Clinton Township, MI 48035. This Mass will indeed count toward your Sunday obligation and will qualify as an "indulgenced act."...

Where Have We Become Complacent?
Fr. Dave Tomaszycki Podcasts
Here is the audio from the 7:30am Mass on Sunday, September 28, 2025, the Twenty-Sixth Sunday in Ordinary Time, Year C. I think my wording and phrasing was better at the 7:30am Mass, but the 10:00am Mass was definitely more dynamic and engaging (the livestream for the 10:00am Mass can be found , the homily starts at 30:56). I really only had two points: Complacent with Neighbor? Complacent with God?
