For each HomilyStarter©, our extensive, prayerful research includes Catholic commentaries, works by Catholic clergy, and Internet sources which address the specific Scripture passage under consideration. (Visit our Resources [link] page to explore some of our favorites.) You save time on research.
Each ready-to-go homily is in speaking form – pauses and changes in pace are already marked. HomilyStarters© are designed to be easily presentable from the ambo. You save time on preparation.
Yet you can still add to the homily or delete from it . . . cut and paste . . . include your own illustrations and applications . . . or highlight in any way . . . to make it your own!
The price of each HomilyStarter© is only $15.00. Visit our online store [link] to choose just the right homily and download it instantly. Purchase only the homily you actually need, at the time you need it.

Jesus said,
"While you have The Light,
believe in The Light,
so that you may become
children of The Light"
John 12:36 (NAB).
Thank you for your interest in our website. Having been a deacon for several years, I am launching this ministry as a service to other homilists. My mission is to aid those who preach and handle many other responsibilities to more quickly and easily prepare their homily assignments, using the quality research and presentation tools that are provided.
HomilyStarters© offer a foundation upon which one can build a very effective homily. In addition, this "springboard" provides a simple way to create one’s own unique style.
May God bless you on your journey!
--Deacon John Pate
