The Father Korey Homily Podcast shares the weekly preaching of Fr. Korey LaVergne, pastor of Saint Edward Catholic Church in Richard, Louisiana and Saint Thomas Mission Chapel in Savoy, Louisiana. Rooted in Sacred Scripture and the Eucharist, each homily brings clarity, conviction, and hope for everyday discipleship. These messages are meant to challenge comfort, awaken faith, and draw listeners closer to Jesus Christ. Whether you are a parishioner, a pilgrim, or simply hungry for God’s Word, you’ll find a spiritual home here.
Listen weekly as we open the Scriptures, confront the demands of the Gospel, and discover the fire Christ came to bring.
On January 1, the Church begins the new year not with goals, but with a blessing. On the Solemnity of Mary, Mother of God, we hear God place His name upon His people before asking anything in return.
This homily reflects on why most resolutions fail, how the Church redeems the idea of new beginnings, and what Mary teaches us about real, lasting change. Growth does not start with pressure or willpower. It starts with belonging.

O Wisdom, O Leader (Homily – December 18, 2025)
Thursday of the Third Week of AdventDecember 18, 2025Saint Edward Catholic Church
As the Church enters the final days of Advent, the O Antiphons give voice to a deeper longing. Today we cry out: O Wisdom. O Leader. These ancient prayers do not explain. They plead.
This homily reflects on our hunger for wisdom that actually converts us, and a rescue that requires surrender. Christ does not arrive with noise or force. He comes quietly as Emmanuel, God with us, feeding us and changing us from the inside out.
Liturgical Focus: The O Antiphons of December 17–18 and the Church’s Advent prayers.

Yes But Also No (Homily – December 16, 2025)
On Tuesday of the Third Week of Advent, Rev. Korey R. LaVergne reflects on Zephaniah’s hard but merciful words to a people who thought they were listening to God, while quietly deciding for themselves. The homily explores the danger of saying “yes” to God with our words while refusing Him with our lives. Drawing on the Gospel image of the two sons, this reflection calls listeners to an honest, humble conversion that stops pretending and finally goes to work.Gospel: Matthew 21:28–32
“Lord, I said yes, but I didn’t go.”
