Follow Up: Infant Baptism & Praying for the Dead

Father Shawn McCain Tirres | October 12, 2025

Father Shawn explores the story of ten lepers healed by Jesus (Luke 17) and what it means to live in "in-between places"—those tensions between health and unhealth, certainty and doubt, belonging and exclusion. He challenges us to see how Jesus consistently draws near to the doubly excluded and calls us to join him in that same work of radical welcome.

You Are Not Alone in the Wilderness | Father Shawn McCain Tirres

The ascension of Jesus is a key to understanding God’s aims throughout history and into the future. It’s key to understanding how God does things, and what he’s up to in our lives today. Getting the Ascension right, in short, brings God’s Kingdom into focus. It puts before us a clear picture of God’s true aims, to reunite humanity, and all of creation with its creator through the work of Jesus.
