Today we honor the life and legacy of Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
Guided by faith, courage, and love, he reminded the world that justice, peace, and dignity for every person are not optional—they are essential. As followers of Christ, may we continue his work by choosing compassion over division, service over silence, and love over fear. “Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that.” May we be that light in our homes, our parish, and our community.
