“Wild Goose” was a term that the ancient Celts had for the Holy Spirit. This 14-part video series features Fr. Dave Pivonka and various interviews, exploring how the Spirit moves freely, powerfully, and sometimes unexpectedly in our lives. Shot in varied locations from Niagara Falls to the California desert, The Wild Goose invites viewers to an encounter, or a renewed encounter, with the Holy Spirit. Come and join as we watch, discuss, and discover a deeper relationship with the Holy Spirit today.

"Messiah," by George Frideric Handel, is perhaps the most widely-known musical work in the classical repertoire. It is also unique in that the entire oratorio consists of quotations from Scripture: God’s living word, inspired by the Holy Spirit.

Guided by an award-winning book by Stephen J. Binz, we will deepen both our understanding of God’s redeeming plan and our appreciation for the timeless music telling the story of salvation.

Sessions will meet Thursdays starting November 5, 2026 and continuing into the new year.

Take a break from the busyness of the week and join Bishop Robert Gruss for Mass, a meatless lunch and an opportunity to hear from him. All are welcome to attend Mass, and registration is encouraged for those who wish to stay for lunch and Bishop Gruss' presentation.
