Heart of Worship 2025

Theme: “Let the Church Say Amen”

This year, our parish enters a new chapter—one rooted in bold faith, joyful surrender, and a renewed openness to the power of God’s “Yes.” Under the spiritual leadership of our pastor, Fr. Reginald Samuels, we embrace the parish theme “Let the Church Say Amen.”

Amen is more than a word we speak at the end of prayers. It is the Church’s heartbeat—an act of assent, trust, and willing participation in God’s unfolding work in our lives. To say “Amen” is to respond as Mary did, as the Apostles did, as the Saints have done throughout history:
“Let it be done to me according to Your word.”

In a world marked by division, uncertainty, noise, and constant striving, God invites us once again to listen—to attune our ears to His voice and respond with faith. The Church’s “Amen” is not passive. It is a courageous yes that says: Lord, I believe You are here. I believe You are working. I believe You are faithful, even when I cannot see the full path before me.

Heart of Worship is our annual call to enter the mystery of God’s presence and open ourselves more fully to His grace. It is a day set apart—where teaching, music, prayer, and community draw us into the deeper truth that Christ is alive in His Church and alive in each one of us.

Through Scripture, praise, Eucharistic adoration, and powerful testimony, we reflect on what it means for the whole Church—our families, ministries, and parish community—to say “Amen” together. What does it look like to say yes to God in our struggles? In our vocations? In our relationships? In our mission as disciples?

The early Church proclaimed “Amen” with their lives. The saints proclaimed it with their sacrifice. And today, we proclaim it by choosing Christ again and again—with conviction, with humility, and with love.

As we journey through this year’s theme, may we rediscover the strength that comes from surrender and the peace that comes from trusting God’s will. May our hearts echo the ancient prayer of the Church:
“Amen. Come, Lord Jesus.”

We invite you to listen to this year’s Heart of Worship talks and allow your own “Amen” to rise—confident, joyful, and filled with the Holy Spirit.
