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:
“Lord, look upon me with eyes of mercy –
May your healing hand rest upon me,
May your lifegiving powers flow into every cell of my body
and into the depths of my soul,
cleansing, purifying, restoring me
to wholeness and strength
for service in your Kingdom. Amen”

“But for you who fear my name the sun of righteousness shall rise, with healing in its wings… She said, ‘If I but touch his clothes, I shall be cured.’… And wherever he came, in villages, cities, or countryside, they laid the sick in the marketplaces and implored him that they might touch even the fringe of his garment. And as many as touched it were made well.” Malachi 4:2; Matthew 5:28; Mark 6:56
