LITURGICAL YEAR 2021
We persist in this Apostolate because the Catholic faith is beautiful, because it is true, and because it is good. We persist because the Church is Christ here-present, and, like a ship, protects and advances us toward Jesus Christ until He comes again. We persist because we have been charged with passing on our faith (see Deuteronomy 4:4-7; 11:19).
And, we persist because, to shamelessly co-opt a line from the movie, Chariots of Fire, ‘when we write, we feel His pleasure.’ Contact Us.
Presently, weekly copies of our four Faith Supplements are available for free downloading and printing.
Prayer of the Week:
In preparation for Pentecost – Veni, Sancte, Spiritus
Grant to Thy faithful,
Who trust in Thee,
Thy sevenfold gifts.
Grant us the reward of virtue,
Grant us final salvation,
Grant us eternal joy.
