Deacon Scott Bowen's 29th Sunday Homily 2025
Deacon Scott Bowen urges Catholics to support and pray for their priests, reminding us that the laity plays a vital role in sustaining the Church.
Deacon Scott Bowen — Catholic convert, author, teacher, and youth leader — has dedicated his life to serving the Church in Myrtle Beach. Through his teaching, writing, and ministry, he inspires Catholics to live their faith boldly and intentionally.
In a recent short video, Deacon Bowen delivers a powerful reminder: our clergy cannot fight this spiritual battle alone. Priests are on the front lines — in the Mass, in confession, and in service to the faithful. The Church is one Body, and the laity plays a crucial role in sustaining it through prayer, engagement, and support.
Deacon Bowen urges us to take concrete steps:
Pray for your priests — they need spiritual strength and guidance.
Stay engaged in your parish — active participation strengthens the Body of Christ.
Be the army in the valley — support your clergy with love, intercession, and presence.
We’re sharing this message to highlight the importance of backing our spiritual leaders. (Note: This video is not an official production of St. Andrew Catholic Church; it’s shared out of appreciation for Deacon Bowen’s ministry in Myrtle Beach.)
