Simple Joy Of Belonging
What’s on your bucket list? For Father Gene, it’s not skydiving—it’s dinner with a few friends, sharing stories and laughter over a simple meal.
In today’s FatherSide Chat, he reminds us: life’s best moments are often small and shared.
What does it really mean to say, “I’m in”? In this FatherSide Chat, Father Gene explores Ash Wednesday and Lent not as rituals of guilt, but as intentional renewal. A season to recommit, refocus, and choose something better for ourselves and those around us.
Some moments stay with us forever—the instant understanding clicks, or gratitude suddenly deepens. Father Gene reflects on recognizing “the good stuff”: learning, resilience, and the quiet sacrifices of those who came before us that made our own lives possible.
